Working Mechanism
- The plugs should be positioned into the pipe at a distance at least equal to the pipe diameter.
- Connect one end of the inflation hose to the plug inflation fitting.
- Brace / block the plug.
- Inflate pressure to the plug through the inflation hose and let it stabilise.
- Proceed with the testing of pipe or other use of the plug.
- Release plug pressure from outside the danger zone until the plug is completely deflated and finally remove bracing / blocking system.
Features
- Cherne MS2 long Test Ball plugs come with moulded-in sealing ribs to guarantee a leak-free seal.
- They are long enough to seal sewer run and wye vertical riser.
- 274518, 274526 and 274534 models allow multi-stage deflation to remove backsplash.
- They have pressure relief guard to protect against over-inflation.
- These units include a 5 ft extension hose, safety handle & nylon strap to prevent the plug from sliding down.
