Cherne 5 in Mechanical Pipe Plug

The Cherne 271551 is a new mechanical pipe plug built for 5 in pipe sizes. It fits inside diameters from 4.62 in to 5.3 in. Galvanized steel handle and plate resist corrosion during pressure testing or temporary line blockage. Overall height is 3.55 in for access in tight spaces.

Suits pressure testing and temporary sealing

Plumbers and contractors use this plug to seal 5 in lines during hydrostatic or low-pressure air tests. It handles up to 2 ft of water head or 1 psi air back pressure. The design has no bypass connection, so it cannot be used for flow-through or monitoring while installed. Buyers needing a bypass port or higher pressure rating should look at a different model.

Seals 4.62 in to 5.3 in inside diameter

The single specification that decides fit is the inside-diameter range of 4.62 in minimum to 5.3 in maximum. Measure the pipe bore before ordering; the plug will not seal outside this window. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
