Plumbing Test Ball Plugs are used for testing drain, waste & vent systems (DWVs). They can be used in most types of pipes, test tees and sealed out round pipes. These Test Ball plugs have a ring and chain assembly that prevents the plug from dropping into a DWV system during testing.
Cherne's Long Test-Ball plugs are used to seal the waste stack's rise & run while performing the test. They can also seal the wye for conducting sewer air tests and feature moulded-in sealing ribs at each end for leak-free sealing. They come with a 3 feet extension hose.
Cherne Clean-Seal plugs remove the test water backsplash during stack testing of drain, waste and vent plumbing systems. They can be easily threaded into any standard test tee & their bladder is inflated to run the test.
Cherne's Rupture Disc Technology is used in Pneumatic Test Ball & Muni-Ball pipe plugs to prevent over-inflation due to faulty gauges. These devices activate at 60 percent over the stated inflation pressure to prevent the chances of plug explosion & cording damage, ensuring user safety.
Test Ball plugs do not feature a bypass and can only block (seal) a pipe. A Muni Ball plug, on the other hand, features a bypass tube running through the plug to bypass effluent through the tube. It can be converted for air testing using an adapter cap and can also block a pipe.
Most of Cherne's pneumatic plugs have natural rubber construction. Only yellow pillow plugs are made from polyurethane impregnated fabric.
Cherne pneumatic pipe plugs can operate in temperatures ranging from 0 to 125 degrees F.
Yes, the brand's plugs can be used for both pressurized and non-pressurized systems.
