The neoprene sleeve compresses around the pipe ends and is secured by stainless steel shield bands, creating a leak-resistant mechanical joint without solvent cement or heat. The 2-inch size fits standard 2-inch pipe ends across multiple material types. Licensed plumbers and journeymen pipe fitters install this coupling for DWV repairs and new rough-in work in residential and light commercial construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3001-22 is rated for above-ground use only and is compatible with cast iron, plastic, steel, and copper drain, waste, and vent pipe. It is a practical solution for connecting dissimilar pipe materials in repair scenarios where the existing system may include a mix of older cast iron and newer PVC or ABS runs. The shielded design provides additional rigidity compared to unshielded couplings, making it well suited for exposed or accessible piping in crawl spaces, basements, and mechanical rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeoprene gasket sleeve seals against cast iron, plastic, steel, and copper pipe surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel shield bands add structural support and clamp force across the joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo solvents, flames, or special tools required for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch nominal size fits standard DWV pipe ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAbove-ground rated for drain, waste, and vent applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with 2-inch cast iron, plastic, steel, and copper drain, waste, and vent pipe.

Shut off any upstream flow and ensure the pipe section is dry before installing the coupling. Slide the coupling onto one pipe end, align the joint, then position the neoprene sleeve evenly over both pipe ends before tightening the stainless steel clamp bands. Do not overtighten bands; follow the torque guidance printed on the coupling packaging or the manufacturer installation sheet. Verify the finished joint complies with local plumbing code requirements under the IPC or applicable state plumbing code before restoring flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGasket Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neoprene\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Above ground drain, waste, and vent (DWV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Pipe Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast iron, plastic, steel, copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FERNCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3001-22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FERNCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138678489394,"sku":"3001-22","price":32.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305525854.jpg?v=1778261706","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/fernco-3001-22-proflex-shielded-coupling-2-inch-dwv","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
