well i took the measurements.i just need to know what section to get it from.im probably just gonna go try 2 find it.for anybody else who needs it:its approximately 4" long(3 1/2" on top)1-4" opening and 1-3 5/8" opening....so a 4" long coupler x 4" should do the job.

It's in the plumbing section. The size is 3"x3". Hope this helps! Good luck with the project, too.

Either put it in the microwave or some really hot water to get it good and flexible. If you do the microwave thing though, be careful like I wasn't. I burned the hell out of my hand!

I picked mine up at ACE Hardware. 3x3 -- $4.99

I can't believe people are paying $18-$20 each for these things on eBay. I may need to buy a few extra.

Probably a stupid question but...

Is Fernco the manufacturer, and is Home Depot and/or Ace the only stores that stock it?? I've got a Lowes and a Menards in town, but no Home Depot or Ace...

Would I be able to pick up something similar in the plumbing section of either of these stores, and if so, what exactly would I be looking for (ie, is it a coupler, etc)?

TIA.

Ferno is the manufacturer and it should be written on it somewhere.
When I was installing it my neighboor came up to me and told me I was putting a toilet coupling on my car Looks good though.

If you guys need them. I am a plumbing supply house and I stock every Fernco coupling. Let me know what series you have and i will get you one. Is it a 1056, 1022 or 1010. Probably 1056. I just took a 3-1/2 copper sleeve and ovaled it out, it slid right inside my accordian piece and looks totally stock. Andy

Fernco is one manufacturer of the rubber couplings. Other people may carry Mission Rubber products. We actually carry the Mission Rubber type and the part number is MR-56-33.

If you are in the plumbing section of Home Depot, Lowes, Do-it Center, whatever, look under the drain/waste/vent section.
