Re: Pipe loads on the cheap

That's what I was talking about. But is "Fernco" a trade name? Doesn't sound like a generic term.

I think we'd better drop this anyhow, Sheriff Brock is very humorless these days, and I'm fairly
sure this joint is post-'60 . . .

steel pipe and
concrete pipe can be joined for some non-pressure uses (drain lines, for instance) with a band
which is drawn tight
around the pipe. There is a specific terminology for this, but I have forgotten it, if I ever knew
it to begin with.

clamp with a rubber
gasket between the clamp and the pipes being joined.Steve StullWinslow 7076
