Confused, almost probably. Certainly wouldn't be the first time and won't
be the last

In the HD link that worked on page 2, it looks like they are putting a glove
over the joints, which I assume this is the neoprene sleeve. I thought this
was a separate component from the no hub coupling. That's why I asked if
the sleeve is rolled up inside the coupling and if it can then be unrolled.
Probably the link more than anything has confused me.

Thanks Jim. So I can basically use it as it is sold in its round state,
or I can actually unwrap the sleeve and put it like a glove over the
joints?

Good point jam about the framing and such. The reason I brought this up
originally, I had a section of cast iron drain pipe do this, and the
plumbing company who fixed this did the same thing as far as the no hub
coupling connections with the intact cast iron and a replacement piece of
pvc, but didn't unfold and wrap the sleeves around the joint, they just
left the no hub as is and connected it over the joint. I didn't know if
one practice was accepted over the other or is there an advantage of
doing it one way or the other (unwrapping the sleeve or not)?


I think you may be confused. The neoprene sleeve is a tube;
it cannot be "unwrapped". It has to be slid over the pipe ends.

The stainless band CAN be opened (unwrapped), or it too can
be slid over the pipe ends.

Another thought here, are these sold as a kit, or is the sleeve packed
(tucked) inside the coupling and I have to pull remove it from inside
the coupling when I get it home?


The sleeve is packed inside the stainless band,
but you can remove it. The band opens up so it
can be snapped over the joint later if that helps.

Sorry about the no go with the link. See if this works then navigate
to page 2 for the photos.

I know when I have gone to HD or Lowe's, I have only seen the coupling
with the stainless steel band and clamps on the outside of it, but not
the inner sleeve. These couplings were laying loose with the other
fernco adapters in the plumbing section. Didn't know if I had to go to
a different section to look for them.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the link Jim. That is one part I would need, but how
about the sleeve (almost glove like) part as seen in this link:

Where would I get that, I saw in your link you sent, only the actual
coupling, not the sleeve.

The HD link didn't work.
The No-Hub coupling includes the stainless band and 2 clamps
plus the inner neoprene sleeve. HD has them in some sizes.
A plumbing supply house would have all sizes.

Hi. Does anyone know where I can purchase, online, the neoprene
sleeves used in conjunction with no hub connectors when connecting
cast iron drain pipe and pvc drain pipe. These are the sleeves
that get rolled over top of the cast iron and pvc before the no hub
connectors are tightened. Preferably 3 inch. Thanks.

BTW, I tried googling, and all I got was descriptions. I used
neoprene sleeves + plumbing.

If you need like a dozen sleeves, buy the complete No-Hub
coupling and toss what's not needed.

If you're looking for like a thousand of 'em for a project,
see if the company will accomodate you:
