✓ Full stainless steel shield — rigid joint that resists shear, shifting & vibration✓ Transitions cast iron, plastic or steel to copper✓ Neoprene gasket seals tight — no primers, glue or solvent odors✓ Conforms to ASTM C1460, ASTM C564 & CSA B602 — passes inspection 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 Key Features Neoprene (synthetic rubber) gasket, marked with part number and application .012″ type 301 stainless steel shield, 2.125″ wide 301 stainless clamp band and housing; 305 stainless 5/16″ hex screw Rigid, shear-resistant joint for above-ground transitions Installs with a standard nut driver or torque wrench — no primers or glue Made in the USA — AIS and BABA compliant Specifications Gasket Material Neoprene (synthetic rubber), conforms to ASTM C564 Shield .012″ × 2.125″ type 301 stainless steel Clamp Band & Housing 301 stainless steel Clamp Screw 305 stainless steel, 5/16″ hex Standards ASTM C1460, ASTM C564, CSA B602 Installation Torque 60 in-lbs Max Test Pressure 4.3 PSI (29.6 kPa) Max Operating Temp 180°F Origin Made in USA, AIS & BABA compliant Sizes & Connections Part No. Side A Side B Length Mission® Eq.

Best Used For Above-ground DWV, sewer, waste and vent transitions 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.
