Cherne Launches Mechanical Cleanout Plugs to Simplify High-Pressure DWV Testing with No Tools Required


CLEVELAND, July 29, 2020 — Cherne®, a part of the Oatey family of brands, today announced the launch of its Mechanical Cleanout Plugs, whose durable, effective and easy-to-use features make it simple to test a DWV system.     

Available in 2”, 3” or 4” configurations, Cherne Mechanical Cleanout Plugs are built for quick and easy mechanical operation. The plug’s two-stage locking mechanism locks firmly in for both test and drain positions, allowing for high-pressure testing up to 150 ft head/65 psi/15 floors (at 10 ft head per floor). Built with durable and replaceable rubber pads, the plugs fit PVC, ABS and cast-iron cleanout tees. They can be installed or removed in seconds without requiring any tools, and no backsplash draining will occur.

With best-in-class material strength and durability, as well as higher testing pressure capabilities than leading competitors, Cherne Mechanical Cleanout Plugs are the easy choice for simplified DWV testing.
