BLOCKING PLUGS PLUMBING TEST-BALL PLUGS ® Cherne Plumbing Test Ball® Plugs were first introduced in 1953 as a more versatile product than traditional mechanical plugs. Designed to test drain, vent and waste systems Cherne Test Ball® Plugs could be used in any type of pipe, could be inserted through a test tee, and sealed out of round pipe as well. Cherne introduced the multi-size yellow-top Test Ball® plugs in 2002.
LONG TEST-BALL • MS2 TEST-BALL PLUGS ® ® ® Cherne’s Long Test-Ball® plugs are designed for waste stack testing—sealing the rise and the run to perform the test. These long ball plugs can also be used to seal the wye to conduct sewer air tests. Molded-in sealing ribs at each end of the plug ensure a leak-free seal.
CLEAN-SEAL PLUGS ® Designed for stack testing of drain, waste, and vent plumbing systems, Clean-Seal® plugs thread into a standard test tee. The bladder is inflated and then water is introduced into the pipe. Upon test completion, deflate the bladder; water travels down the pipe, eliminating test water backsplash.

TEST-BALL PLUGS – UNDERGROUND ® Blocking flow Cherne’s Original Single Size and Multi-Size Test Ball Plugs are our most economical pneumatic plugs for blocking flow to do maintenance in sanitary and storm sewer systems. These plugs may also be used as a back plug for sewer air tests. All of the single-size and multi-size Test Ball plugs have eyebolts for attaching a rope or clevis for lifting and lowering the plug.
I-SERIES TEST-BALL PLUGS ® The Future in Pipe Plugs is Now. I-Series Test-Ball® Plugs.
I-Series Plug Features: Cherne’s I-Series plugs were designed to meet the needs of both the US and International markets in terms of size and expansion range. Our I-Series plugs have full body cording for added durability.
PILLOW-STYLE TEST-BALL PLUGS ® Cherne’s Pillow-Style Test-Balls are great for blocking sewer flow. Made from heavy-duty elastic urethane, these plugs are lightweight, flexible, chemical and petroleum resistant, and will fit through small diameter openings. Pillowstyle plugs can be tethered to full head pressure with the tether bar.
REMO REMOTE PLACEMENT PLUGS ® The Remo® Remote Placement plug provides two advantages—it eliminates the need to enter confined spaces and speeds up the pipe plugging process. The system is safer and less expensive to use than conventional plugging methods because it requires no confined space equipment to simply block sewer flow. A lightweight aluminum pole system* or a standard 1¼" iron pipe** is used to place the Remo® plug in the sewer system.
BYPASS PLUGS ORIGINAL MUNI-BALL PLUGS The Muni-Ball® Plug was introduced over 50 years ago and the Cherne brand continues to be the most trusted name in pneumatic plugs today. Muni-Ball® Plugs offer a full bypass allowing both testing and monitoring of piping systems. Muni-Balls® are ideal for installation and repair of residential or commercial piping systems. Cherne Muni-Ball® products can also be used for maintenance of municipal infrastructure, including sanitary and storm sewer pipe systems.

CONVERSION CHARTS • TESTING METHODS Water Test: Calculating Head Pressure/Feet of Head The DWV plumbing system is plugged leaving the top vent open. Water is then introduced to the system, purging any trapped air that may occur. The test passes if no water column is lost or no pressure drop is noted on a gauge. 1) Measure the distance of the pipe and multiply it by the slope of the grade. 2) Measure the distance of the pipe above the plug.
