Fernco Inc PUC-1575 Flexible Utility Connector 1.5x0.75in

Product Description

The FERNCO INC PUC-1575 is a flexible utility connector designed to join CPVC or copper pipe to a 1-1/2 inch DWV Schedule 40 plastic socket. It bridges two common pipe materials in a single fitting, eliminating the need for additional adapters in drain and waste line connections. The connector measures 1-1/2 inches on the DWV end and 3/4 inches on the CPVC or copper side, making it a direct solution for mixed-material transitions in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and skilled tradeworkers install this fitting wherever a copper or CPVC supply or branch line must tie into a Schedule 40 plastic DWV socket.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial drain, waste, and vent applications where existing copper or CPVC piping must connect to Schedule 40 PVC DWV socket fittings. Typical install scenarios include utility sink hookups, laundry drain connections, and branch line transitions in tight or retrofit situations where rigid fittings are difficult to align. The flexible design absorbs minor misalignment between mating pipes, simplifying rough-in and remodel work.
