Fernco Inc P3000-150 Shielded Specialty Coupling 1.5 in

Product Description

The FERNCO INC P3000-150 is a shielded specialty coupling designed to join 1.5-inch pipe ends across a range of materials, including cast iron, plastic, and steel. The shielded design uses a stainless steel outer band and clamps to compress an elastomeric sleeve against both pipe ends, creating a leak-resistant mechanical connection without solvent cement, couplings threads, or hot work. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this coupling in drainage, waste, and vent (DWV) applications where a durable, flexible connection is required between dissimilar or like pipe materials.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where cast iron, PVC, ABS, or steel pipe meets at a 1.5-inch nominal size. Common applications include drain line repairs, fixture branch connections, and system retrofits where cutting in a rigid fitting is not practical. The coupling accommodates minor misalignment and pipe-end irregularities, making it a practical choice for repair work on existing systems as well as new installation runs.

Key Features

• Joins cast iron, plastic, or steel pipe to cast iron, plastic, or steel pipe at 1.5-inch nominal size
• Shielded design incorporates a stainless steel outer band for added mechanical strength and corrosion resistance
• Elastomeric sleeve provides a flexible, leak-resistant seal that absorbs minor vibration and movement
• No solvent welding, threading, or open flame required for installation
• Suitable for DWV piping systems in residential and light commercial applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1.5-inch cast iron, plastic, or steel pipe ends. Connects like-to-like and dissimilar pipe materials in DWV configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off water flow and relieve system pressure before cutting into an existing drain line. Pipe ends should be cut square and clean of burrs, debris, and old sealant before the coupling sleeve is positioned. Tighten clamp bands evenly and to the coupling manufacturer torque specification printed on the product packaging.
