Key Features

• Cast iron construction — heavy-duty durability for repeated field use
• 1/2" NPT threaded bypass — controlled flow-through during testing
• 3.5 PSI / 8 ft. head pressure — rated for low-pressure water and air tests
• Natural rubber O-ring — seals round and out-of-round pipes
• Large wing nut design — easy, tool-free installation and superior sealing

Applications

Low-pressure bypass plugging on 10" sewer mains, temporary blocking during major pipe repairs, and flow diversion on municipal storm systems. The 3.5 PSI max rating makes this a low-head application plug. For higher pressure at 10", consider the T-Handle Gripper with Bypass (10 PSI) or the I-Series Muni-Ball.
