High Demand Item – Frequently Reordered by Contractors
Fernco Proflex is the all-stainless shielded transition coupling for dependable above-ground pipe connections. A flexible neoprene sleeve seals the joint while a full .012″ type 301 stainless steel shield and clamp bands lock it rigid — so the connection resists shear forces, vibration, and shifting that would loosen an unshielded coupling.
From 1-1/2″ to 2″, the 3001 series transitions cast iron, plastic or steel to copper above ground, with the same all-stainless shield and neoprene gasket as the rest of the Proflex line.
Applications
- Above-ground transitions from cast iron, plastic or steel to copper
- Copper DWV tie-ins on a rigid, shielded joint
- Remodels and repairs joining copper to existing pipe
- Commercial and residential plumbing needing a shielded copper transition

Best Used For

- Connecting dissimilar pipe materials on a rigid, shear-resistant joint
- Repairs and remodels where a banded coupling needs the strength of a shield
- Commercial and residential plumbing where code calls for a shielded coupling
FAQ
What does the 3001 series connect?
Cast iron, plastic or steel on one side to copper (or smaller plastic) on the other — a clean above-ground transition to copper DWV.
Above ground or buried?
Proflex is for above-ground transitions. For buried, load-bearing joints use a Strong Back RC coupling.
How are sizes listed?
As the CI/plastic/steel size by the copper size — for example, 2″ × 1-1/2″ Copper connects 2″ cast iron, plastic or steel to 1-1/2″ copper.
