Fernco Inc P3001-22 Shielded Pipe Coupling 2 Inches

Product Description

The FERNCO INC P3001-22 is a 2-inch shielded pipe coupling designed to join dissimilar pipe materials in drain, waste, and vent piping systems. The Proflex-style shielded design resists heavy earth loads and shear forces that can compromise standard couplings in buried or high-stress installations. The rigid outer shield provides structural support while the flexible inner sleeve accommodates minor pipe misalignment. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling in both new construction and repair applications where material transitions are required.

This coupling is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It is rated for transitions between cast iron, plastic, or steel pipe and 2-inch copper pipe. The shielded construction makes it suitable for below-grade installations where soil movement or external loading is a concern. It is sold individually as a single unit and is commonly stocked in quantity for multi-fixture rough-in and sewer service work.

Key Features

• Connects cast iron, plastic, or steel pipe to 2-inch copper pipe
• Shielded outer band resists heavy earth loads and shear forces
• Flexible inner sleeve improves pipe alignment during installation
• Suitable for buried and below-grade applications
• Single-unit packaging compatible with bulk stocking (24 per package quantity available)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style specialty transition coupling for 2-inch drain, waste, and vent piping where cast iron, plastic, or steel connects to copper pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing piping. Pipe ends should be clean, deburred, and free of grease or debris before seating the coupling sleeve. Do not overtighten stainless clamps beyond hand-snug plus the manufacturer-specified turns without a torque value reference on hand.
