The Cherne 6" End-of-Pipe Gripper (part #270-261) is a mechanical test plug for 6" sewer and DWV pipe — rated for 17 PSI / 40 ft. head pressure. It seats at the pipe end and won’t fall in, even in vertical installations. Fits 6" Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC, ABS, and cast iron pipe (usage range 5.77"–6.08" ID). At 1.00 lb and 3-3/4" long, it handles the step up to commercial and municipal pipe sizes. Glass-reinforced ABS body with natural rubber O-ring — mechanical wing nut, no inflation needed.
