Description
The Cherne 15" Aluminum T-Handle Gripper (part #272-930) is a heavy-duty mechanical blocking plug for full shutoff on 15" concrete and clay sewer pipe. Rated for 13 PSI / 30 ft. head pressure.

Key Features
- Full blockage — no bypass — complete pipe shutoff for isolation and testing
- T-handle mechanical expansion — high-torque sealing for concrete, clay, and SDR pipe
- 13 PSI / 30 ft. head pressure — rated for sewer air pressure tests
- Chemical-resistant neoprene O-ring — handles sewer gas and chemical exposure
- Heavy-duty aluminum body — corrosion-resistant, lighter than cast iron
Applications
Complete isolation on 15" concrete and clay sewer mains, full shutoff for municipal pipe repairs, and construction blocking. Compatible with concrete and clay pipe only — not SDR plastic. For bypass capability at this size, use part #272-981.
