Fernco 3001-33 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Fernco 3001-33 a shielded coupling or an unshielded one?
Shielded. The 3001-33 ProFlex is a compression shielded coupling, meaning the neoprene sleeve is wrapped in an outer shield rather than being a bare rubber sleeve with two clamps. Shielded couplings are what you use where the joint has to resist shear and stay aligned, such as a buried or in-wall repair. A plain unshielded rubber coupling is the lighter-duty option for above ground, accessible work.
2) Can I use a Fernco 3001-33 flexible coupling to connect two different pipe materials?
That is the point of a flexible coupling. The 3001-33 compresses a neoprene sleeve onto the outside of the pipe, so it makes the joint on outside diameter rather than by solvent weld, thread or hub. As long as both ends are 3 inch pipe with matching outside diameter, the material on either side can differ. Check the OD, not the nominal callout, before you order, since cast iron, plastic and clay all size differently at 3 inch.
3) What is the Fernco 3001-33 made of, and does the sleeve handle DWV waste?
The sleeve is neoprene, which is the standard elastomer for drain, waste and vent service. The 3001-33 is a 3 inch flexible pipe coupling, so it is used to join or repair DWV runs rather than to make a pressure connection.
4) What is the Fernco part number for the 3 inch by 3 inch ProFlex shielded coupling?
Order it as Fernco 3001-33. That is the manufacturer part number for the 3 inch by 3 inch ProFlex neoprene compression shielded coupling, and the trailing 33 reads as the 3 inch by 3 inch size within the 3001 series.
