Flexible Connectors

Flexible connectors and repair parts for the drains in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and mechanical rooms. They line up with pipes that don’t, and none of them need glue.

Past the trap, back to the drain

When the job runs back to an old cast iron or steel drain line, Proflex shielded couplings make the transition. A stainless steel shield keeps the joint rigid and aligned for above-ground DWV work.

  • ¾″ to 8″
  • 11 transition types
  • Cast iron, plastic, steel, copper and tubular
Why flexible

The seal of a Fernco, the access of a slip nut

Glue seals for good but has to be cut out. Slip nuts come apart but can drip. Fernco clamped connectors do both jobs.

Seals tight,
comes apart

Made of flexible PVC with stainless steel clamps. It flexes to fit the pipe, makes a clamped, leak-proof seal, and loosens with a screwdriver when the drain needs work.
