Cherne® 2" Clean-Out Gripper® Plug, 17 PSI

The Cherne 2" Clean-Out Gripper (part #270-168) is a mechanical test plug designed specifically for NPT threaded cleanout openings — guaranteed to seal most damaged threads. Rated for 17 PSI / 40 ft. head pressure. Fits 2" NPT cleanout fittings in cast iron and DWV pipe (usage range 2.20"–2.50"). At just 1.9" long and 2.4 oz, it’s the lightest Gripper in the Cherne line. Glass-reinforced ABS body with natural rubber threaded O-ring and stainless steel hardware.

Key Features

• NPT-threaded design — guaranteed to seal most damaged cleanout threads
• Stainless steel hardware — corrosion-resistant for permanent installations
• 17 PSI / 40 ft. head pressure — rated for DWV testing
• Mechanical wing nut expansion — no inflation, no tools required
• Natural rubber O-ring — reliable seal on round and out-of-round surfaces

Applications

Sealing 2" cleanout access points for DWV pressure testing, permanent cleanout closure, and stack testing. The threaded O-ring grips worn or damaged NPT threads that standard plugs can’t seal — saves a trip back for a replacement fitting.
