Review on 🚿 Cherne 270178 Clean Out Mech Gripper: Revolutionize Your Plumbing Maintenance by Jerry Chembola

Few minutes to install and worked great on a badly corroded cast iron cleaning flange. I used the Cheme Gripper Plug to replace a leaky cheap plastic plug and rubber grommet that a professional plumber installed after they routed my main drain line under my house. It seals perfectly on a completely rusted cleanable flange. As I usually do, I lubricated the threads of the bolt with installation grease (silicone), although the nut and bolt are stainless steel. This ensures that the nut can be loosened after 10 years if scale or other contaminants build up on the threads. It also makes it easier to tighten the nut (or bolt) during installation. Yes, as someone has complained, the nut does not fully unthread from the bolt. The manufacturer probably sees this as a feature to ensure you don't lose the nut in dark places.
