Cherne® 6" Aluminum T-Handle Gripper® Plug (Non Bypass)

The Cherne 6" Aluminum T-Handle Gripper (part #272-892) is a heavy-duty mechanical test plug for full pipe blockage on 6" underground sewer and storm pipe — no bypass, complete shutoff. Rated for 17 PSI / 40 ft. head pressure. Fits 6" concrete, clay, SDR 26, and SDR 35 pipe (usage range 5.7"–6.3" ID). Aluminum body with chemical-resistant neoprene O-ring and zinc-plated steel T-handle. Choose this non-bypass model when you need complete flow isolation without any flow-through.

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
• 17 PSI / 40 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

Full shutoff sewer testing on 6" pipe, complete pipe isolation for repairs or tie-ins, air pressure tests requiring zero flow-through, and blocking applications where no bypass is needed. For testing that requires controlled flow during plugging, use the T-Handle Gripper with Bypass (part #272-949) instead.
