The protective sleeve also protects plugs when the pipe is degraded. Works particularly well in coastal areas where oysters and barnacles are present.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.Remo® Plug Features:• Multi-size design to seal multiple pipe sizes• Can be locked at a 90° angle to seal openings in manholes at different levels• Can be used as a back plug for sewer tests• Adapters available to convert Muni-Ball® plugs into Remo® plugsPole System Features:• Consists of 6' lightweight aluminum poles with push-button construction• Designed for plugs up to 30 lbs used in manhole depths of up to 20'• 1/6th the weight of iron pipe• Pole system requires Remo® pole adapter*Requires pole adapter**When added strength is needed, iron pipe is recommendedProtective Sleeves Remo®90° BendProtective Sleeve InstalledInstalled sleeve is bendable to 90°Features:• 1/4" thick sleeve extends plug life• Eliminates superficial cuts on plugs• Great for rental distributors & frequent users• Maintains back pressure ratings• Easy to install without special toolsProtective SleeveThreading rope through eyelets holds sleeve in place during plug installation and removal.Always block plugs when conducting air tests.Protective Sleeves Air-Loc Plug with Sleeve Installed Test-Ball with Sleeve Installed Muni-Ball with Sleeve InstalledPart Number Sleeve Size Part Number Size Part Number Size Part Number SizeBypass Diameter(NPT)300988 12"-24" 817308 15"-30" 700248 12"-24" 702248 12"-24" 2" M bypass300998 15"-30" 717408 20"-40" 810308 15"-30" 812308 15"-30" 2.5" M bypass301408 20"-40" 817428 24"-42" 710408 20"-40" 814308 15"-30" 4" M bypass301018 24"-42" 717488 24"-48" 810428 24"-42" 712408 20"-40" 2" M bypass301028 24"-48" 717608 30"-60" 710488 24"-48" 714408 20"-40" 4" M bypass301058 30"-60" 817608 40"-60" 710608 30"-60" 716408 20"-40" 6" M bypass301038 40"-60" 717728 48"-72" 810608 40"-60" 812428 24"-42" 4" M bypass301048 48"-72" 710728 48"-72" 714488 24"-48" 4" M bypass716488 24"-48" 6" M bypass714608 30"-60" 4" M bypass814608 40"-60" 4" M bypass714728 48"-72" 4" M bypassPart NumberNominal SizeRange of UseMaximum Back PressureInflation PressureProduct WeightDeflated LengthDeflated DiameterInflation ThreadChain / Eye bolts275428 6" - 10"(150-250 mm)5.5"-10.25"(140-260 mm)13 psi(0,9 bar)30 ft(9.1 M)30 psi(2,1 bar)8 lbs(3.64 kg)24"(610 mm)5.25"(133 mm) 1/4" (2) 3/8" (1)275438 8" - 12"(200-300 mm)7.0"-12.25"(178-311 mm)13 psi(0,9 bar)30 ft(9.1 M)30 psi(2,1 bar)10.75 lbs(4.88 kg)25.5"(648 mm)6.75"(171 mm) 1/4" (2) 3/8" (1)275448 12" - 18"(300-450 mm)10.50"-18.25"(273-464 mm)13 psi(0,9 bar)30 ft(9.1M30 psi(2,1 bar)27 lbs(12.25 kg)34"(863 mm)10.5"(267 mm) 1/4" (2) 3/8" (1)Part Number DescriptionAccessories019473 6' Remo® Pole019458 Remo® Pole Adapter (1¼" M NPT)019558 1½" Remo® Muni-Ball® Adapter019568 2" Remo® Muni-Ball® Adapter019548 2" - 1½" Remo® Reducer Bushing060508 3" - 2" Remo® Reducer Bushing059688 4" - 2" Remo® Reducer Bushing 14Pneumatic Plugs1.800.843.7584 | www.cherneind.com15Pneumatic Plugs 1.800.843.7584 | www.cherneind.comBypass Pumping Gravity BypassingBig-Mouth® plugs serve multiple applications.

This testing ensures that flexible pipe has been properly bedded and backfilled (ASTM D2321) to give optimal performance. Both steel and aluminum gauges utilize a nine arm design to ensure the pipe is tested accurately. This design also allows gravel and debris to easily pass through. Other gauges can get hung up – causing a deflection test to fail, even though the pipe is within tolerance. Sized to .01" , both deflection gauge styles meet ASTM requirements.Field Verification:Cherne's Fin Style Deflection Gauges are designed to be field verified by inspectors without the use of a proving ring. Simply place two fins end to end as pictured to the right and measure the width. Add one inch to the mandrel and you have the outside dimension of the gauge. Using this method simplifies the inspector's job of verifying sizes on deflection gauges.Width +1" = Deflection gauge outside diameterAir-Loc® Line Stringer• Strings lines between manholes quickly• Use lines to pull deflection gauges See page 52Nominal Size Pipe Average ID Base ID* 5% Deflection 7.5% DeflectionASTM Specification D3034 (4" - 15")4" SDR 35 3.965 3.895 3.70 3.606" SDR 26 5.764 5.612 5.33 5.196" SDR 35 5.893 5.742 5.46 5.318" SDR 26 7.715 7.488 7.11 6.938" SDR 35 7.891 7.665 7.28 7.0910" SDR 26 9.644 9.342 8.87 8.6410" SDR 35 9.864 9.563 9.08 8.8412" SDR 26 11.480 11.102 10.55 10.2712" SDR 35 11.737 11.361 10.79 10.5115" SDR 26 14.053 13.575 12.90 12.5615" SDR 35 14.374 13.898 13.20 12.86Nominal Size Pipe Average ID Base ID* 5% Deflection 7.5% DeflectionASTM Specification F679 (18" - 27")18" SDR 26 17.177 16.586 15.76 15.3418" SDR 35 17.564 16.976 16.13 15.7021" SDR 26 20.249 19.545 18.57 18.0821" SDR 35 20.707 20.004 19.00 18.5024" SDR 26 22.781 21.964 20.87 20.3224" SDR 35 23.296 22.481 21.36 20.7927" SDR 26 25.674 24.744 23.51 22.8927" SDR 35 26.258 25.327 24.06 23.4330" SDR 35 29.306 28.673 26.29 26.52 Part Number Nominal Size Pipe Deflection Product WeightAluminum Fin Sets285688 6", 8", 10" SDR 26 5% 18 lbs285005 6", 8", 10" SDR 35 5% 18 lbs285013 6", 8", 10" SDR 35 7.5% 18 lbs285698 8", 10", 12" SDR 26 5% 19 lbs285021 8", 10", 12" SDR 35 5% 19 lbs285048 8", 10", 12" SDR 35 7.5% 19 lbsNominal Size Pipe 5% Deflection 7.5% Deflection Product WeightDeflection Gauge Part Numbers4" SDR 35 285056 285137 1.5 lbs6" SDR 26 285638 Custom 2 lbs6" SDR 35 285072 285153 2 lbs8" SDR 26 285648 Custom 2.5 lbs8" SDR 35 285080 285161 2.5 lbs10“ SDR 26 285658 Custom 3 lbs10“ SDR 35 285099 285188 3 lbs12“ SDR 26 285668 Custom 4 lbs12“ SDR 35 285102 285196 4 lbs15“ SDR 26 285678 Custom 5 lbs15“ SDR 35 285110 285218 5 lbs18“ SDR 35 285536 285560 8 lbs21“ SDR 35 285544 285579 10 lbs24“ SDR 35 285552 285587 11 lbs27“ SDR 35 285595 285609 12 lbs38Deflection Gauges1.800.843.7584 | www.cherneind.com39Deflection Gauges 1.800.843.7584 | www.cherneind.comProving Ring in UseProving Ring:• Used to verify deflection gauge sizes• Standard sizes: 6"-15" SDR 35 5% deflection and 8"-12" SDR 35 7.5% deflection• Custom sizes for 5"-18" also availableSteel Deflection Gauges Proving RingsFixed Steel Style Deflection Gauge:• Durable, zinc-plated construction resists corrosion• Conforms to mandrel sizing specifications—blade length is equal to or greater than the nominal pipe size• Nine-arm design ensures testing accuracy• Open design allows gravel and debris pass-throughFor quick and easy size verification Larger and custom sizes are available.Larger and custom sizes are availabe.Part Number Nominal Size Pipe Deflection Product WeightProving Rings073199 6" SDR 35 5% 4 oz (.11 kg)073202 8" SDR 35 5% 4 oz (.11 kg)073253 8" SDR 35 7.5% 4 oz (.11 kg)073210 10" SDR 35 5% 6 oz (.17 kg)073261 10" SDR 35 7.5% 6 oz (.17 kg)073229 12" SDR 35 5% 6 oz (.17 kg)073288 12" SDR 35 7.5% 6 oz (.17 kg)073237 15" SDR 35 5% 7 oz (.20 kg)Nominal Size Pipe 5% Deflection 7.5% Deflection Product WeightDeflection Gauge Part Numbers6" SDR 26 286008 286128 5 lbs6" SDR 35 286068 286188 5 lbs8" SDR 26 286018 286138 7 lbs8" SDR 35 286078 286198 7 lbs10“ SDR 26 286028 286148 8 lbs10“ SDR 35 286088 286208 8 lbs12“ SDR 26 286038 286158 9 lbs12“ SDR 35 286098 286218 9 lbs15“ SDR 26 286048 286168 13.5 lbs15“ SDR 35 286108 286228 13.5 lbs18“ SDR 35 286118 286238 15 lbs18" SDR 26 286058 N/A 18 lbs21“ SDR 35 286278 N/A 18 lbs24" SDR 35 286288 N/A 21 lbs40Testing Equipment1.800.843.7584 | www.cherneind.com40Testing EquipmentTesting EquipmentAir-Loc® Pressure Testing 42-44Air-Loc® Pressure Testing Hoses 45Manhole Jack • Roller • Winch 46Air-Loc® Pressure Testing 47Air-Loc® Manhole Testers 48-49Air-Loc® Vacuum Equipment 50-51Air-Loc® Stringer • Ventilators 52Air-Loc® Smoke Testing 53Air-Loc® Joint Testers 54Aqua-Loc® Hydrostatic Test Pumps 55-5742Testing Equipment1.800.843.7584 | www.cherneind.com43Testing Equipment 1.800.843.7584 | www.cherneind.comThe Cherne Air-Loc® Low Pressure Air-Testing System has been successfully used for testing sewer pipe installations for over 40 years.

(Pipe area = ?r2)4) Calculate the force the plug must withstand.(pounds of force = PSI X pepe area)Formula: ?r2 X PSI = POUNDS OF FORCEExample: 36" diameter pipeRadius = 18"? = 3.14PSI = 518" x 18" x 3.14 x 5 PSI = 5087 POUNDS OF FORCE* Calculating pounds of force aids in building blocking systems. It also illustrates the tremendous force generated by a sewer air test.30 feetConversion • Testing Safety InstructionsStand clear of the danger zoneGeneral Safety and Usage Instructions:1) Death, bodily injury, and/or property damage may result if plug fails for any reason.2) Read and understand safety instruction sheet before using plug.3) Must wear safety glasses and a hard hat.4) Do not enter danger zone when plug is in use.5) Measure pipe diameter before selecting plug.6) Inspect plug for damage before and after use.7) Never use a plug in a pipe size different from recommended usage range.8) Always attach an inflation hose so plug can be inflated and deflated from outside the danger zone.9) Never remove the inflation hose until all back pressure is released and the plug is deflated.10) Must inflate plug to the pressure shown on plug.11) Always use properly-calibrated pressure gauges.12) Do not exceed recommended maximum allowable back pressure (refer to safety instruction sheet).13) Always release back pressure from the pipe first, before deflating plug.14) Check pneumatic plug inflation pressure at least every four hours.Water Test: 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.Air Test: The DWV plumbing system is plugged at all openings including traps and vents, leaving one opening as a point to both introduce and monitor the test pressure. Air is introduced, pressurizing the system (normally 5 PSI or less), making sure all are outside the danger zone. (See safety and usage instructions.) The test passes if the measurable loss of pressure is within the time and pressure allowances of the test specifications.Manometer (or U-Tube): Also known as a final test, the manometer test verifies trap tightness in a new plumbing system. All traps are filled with water and all vents are then plugged. The manometer tube is first filled with water so that it “zeroes" out. Then the lower tube of the manometer is placed through a trap. A second hose is then put through the same trap and a small amount of pressure is applied. A decrease in water column measured on the manometer scale indicates that there is a leak in the system.Scent Test: The DWV system is plugged at all openings except one. Liquid scent is applied in that opening, which is then plugged. Leaks are detected via smell.Calculating Head Pressure/Feet of Head1) 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. (used when pipe is vertical)In the example above, the answer is 600 x .01 = 6 feet of head.3) Attach a hose to a Muni-Ball® bypass. Raise the hose until the flow stops. Measure the height of the water in the hose.In the example above, the answer is 5 feet of headIn the example above, the answer is: 30 feet of pipe above the plug = 30 feet of headSpecial Notes: • Pressures being exerted on a plug—regardless of the medium (liquid, water, or air)—are the same. Ten (10) PSI of water is the same as ten (10) PSI of air. However, air is a compressible media. Therefore when a plug dislodges under air back-pressure, it is much more dangerous than water pressure as the air will expand to its original atmospheric volume. Use extreme caution when conducting air tests • Air back-pressure ratings reflect absolute back-pressure capabilities. Common engineering standards have been used to convert head pressure to PSI. It is imperative to block pipe plugs when performing air pressure tests and to ensure no one is in the danger zone when a plug is in use.
