Fernco couplings

Hi all,

Has anyone ever used Fernco Flex couplings. Are they used for plumbing repairs only?? Or what?

Primarily a plumbing repair/replacement product, but I used some couplings on swimming pool filtration system repairs and as a quick fix on a dog pen chain link fence pipe repair.

Being a female. I might use them in all sorts of strange ways. But yeah they are found in the plumbing section of most stores. I myself planted flowers in one of the bigger ones. But hey when you live on Junk Mountain you have to get creative.

Oh yeah, the plumb-qwik connectors. Most local codes frown on the unshielded ones, especially if you use them to adapt sizes. But in the field I’ve seen them last 5 years or more. Except in restaurants- the grease eats ’em right up.
