Fernco Inc. 3000-88 Shielded Transition Coupling 8 in

8-inch Shielded Transition Coupling

This Fernco shielded transition coupling joins nominal 8-inch pipe with a secure mechanical seal. It is intended for drain and waste lines where a reliable joint between compatible pipe materials is required. The coupling accepts female connections on both ends and provides a 3 13/16-inch overall length. Installers working on residential or light commercial drainage systems will find it suited to standard rehabilitation or new-work tie-ins.

Neoprene sleeve with stainless shield

The neoprene gasket is reinforced by a corrosion-resistant metal shield that maintains clamp pressure and resists shear loads. Two stainless-steel clamp bands tighten over the shield to create a watertight seal without special tools. The shielded design prevents the coupling from expanding under pressure or ground movement, reducing callbacks on buried or vertical stacks. It is not for pressure-rated water supply lines or applications requiring flexible deflection beyond the coupling's fixed length.
