PRODUCT DESCRIPTION --\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:1.1rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe Fernco Hulk is a heavy-duty universal coupling built for sewer and drain repairs where two pipes of different material or outside diameter have to come together. A full stainless steel shear shell wraps the sleeve, so the joint resists shear loads and ground shift instead of flexing under them — the difference between a repair that holds and one you go back to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:1.1rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 26px;\"\u003eThe sleeve is molded from elastomeric PVC for a leak-proof seal that stands up to chemicals and sewer gases. Two high-torque 316 series stainless steel clamps lock it down, and a single coupling spans a wide outside-diameter range at each nominal size — so one part transitions between most common pipe materials.
