Mechanical Pipe Plug for 4-inch pipes

The Cherne 273348 mechanical pipe plug is designed to seal 4-inch diameter pipes during testing or maintenance. It fits pipe inside diameters from 3.78 in to 4.3 in and uses an expandable nitrile rubber element tightened by a stainless steel mechanism. The unit stands 3.25 in tall and includes no bypass or water fill port.

Suited for pressure testing and temporary blockage

This plug serves contractors and maintenance crews who need a reusable mechanical seal for 4-inch lines. It handles up to 2 psi of air back pressure or 5 ft of water head. Buyers needing a bypass connection to divert flow, a padlockable security feature, or an integrated water fill hose should look elsewhere.

Capacity covers standard 4-inch pipe range

The plug comfortably seals pipes within the stated 3.78 in to 4.3 in inside diameter range. It runs out of sealing ability beyond those diameters or when back pressure exceeds the 2 psi air or 5 ft water limits. No larger or smaller pipe sizes are accommodated by this model.

Questions about this item

Will the Cherne 273348 fit my 4-inch pipe with a 3.78 in inside diameter?

Yes, the plug works from 3.78 in up to 4.3 in inside diameter, so a 3.78 in pipe is at the minimum limit.

Can I leave my existing stainless-steel clamps in place when installing this mechanical plug?

The plug uses its own stainless-steel plate and handle to seal; it does not rely on external clamps.

How do I confirm the 273348 is holding after I tighten the handle?

Pressurise the line to no more than 2 psi air or 5 ft of water head and watch for pressure drop.
