Choose the proven, preferred and professional coupling for your next drain, waste or vent project. The Fernco 1002-442RC extra long, shielded, flexible PVC coupling quickly connects clay pipes. Installation is as easy as sliding the coupling on and torquing the stainless-steel bands down for a leak-proof connection. Before you grab the primer and glue - be sure and look for the right Fernco coupling. Fernco couplings have been proudly manufactured in the USA since 1964 and are made of the highest quality elastomeric polyvinyl chloride and corrosion-resistant, rust-proof clamps. With a reputation for quality, innovation, and reliable performance, you can trust Fernco as the global leader in flexible plumbing couplings.
Unmatched quality and performance. Built to last the life of the plumbing system, Fernco couplings are made from elastomeric polyvinyl chloride for a strong, leak-proof fitting that’s resistant to chemicals and sewer gases.
