Why not just use the hose? I mean who the hell does this? Can't you hest tape a hose?
Who carries 8’ lengths of 4” pvc in their RV?!
Can you leave it out all winter long in below freezing?
What size PVC pipe did you use? Thanks
3" SCH. 40 PVC plastic was used. :-)
I don’t like the idea of this bushing connection when the bayonet type adapter would be much easier and probably a better connection. I also think it would be much better for flow to run like a 23° or 45° from the trailer connection point and run straight-ish towards the septic/sewer connection point rather than the long straight runs with 90s. I guess it would all depend on the specific location and rv setup. I agree with the person above, the kit idea like this isn’t really that practical when it would be much better to go to a store and buy exactly what you need for your specific setup. But hey, if you can make a bit of money on your kits, more power to you.
Do NOT EVER use 90 degree angles on solid dump lines … Use 45’s or Y’s … keeps things flowing in the right direction … 90’s slow things down because it is a Hard Turn and that is where the Poo and Paper hang up …
My mom works there!! ^^
Congratulations, you've created multiple points on which toilet paper and shit can get hung up on.
Much better option than those stinky slinkies. Those things just collect 💩
That’s way too much work to setup and breakdown every time you move
This mostly applies to seasonal site campers. @markjackson1970
I really wish this guy was wearing gloves when touching the camper outlet, and sewer opening in the ground.
Nice ...thanks
Can you put a rhino sewer hose down into the pvc with a heat tape for the winter
Hi there, great video. quick question. I have installed permanent connection to my RV to my sewer line beside the house that leads to the city line. I have installed sewer pump to pump it better, my question is, should keep the black and gray valve ON all the time, if not why not? thanks
No you keep black tank closed until it’s full or starting to stink. You can keep the grey water open though.
Straight line 😂
Recently replaced all 3 toilets in my mom's house and found these installed in all 3. They lasted without issues for about 15 years. Liked them so much I bought new ones for her new toilets and am in the process of replacing mine. Adhesive was still strong after 15 years in use.
I should have stock in fernco for the amount of money I spend on them. And I mean that in a good way. Life savers
They must be slow
Or go to lowes and buy all of it for much less😅
Right? And 2 x45s straight to the intake.. U don't need that 90
Would you recommend this for a seasonal campground and should I do any maintenance for winter on this set up when the campground is closed?
Absolutely! As for maintenance, if you keep all the parts connected as is, you should be set through the winter.
Is the white PVC pipe 3” or 4” round?
Always check your areas building code. The area I’m in you have to use all abs hard line no soft or pvc pipe fittings/adapters.
@@belindah9790 Hi Belinda, the PVC pipe in this video is 3".
Hi where I can get it?
Just spent my day first putting on the Fernco seal ; leaked like a sieve . Went to the hardware store and was informed my experience is not uncommon ....when i took out the toilet to see what happened the ''glue'' stickum simply fell off the porcelain underside of the toilet. Have now just replaced w/ the olde fashioned wax ring and it's perfect! On top of the glue ring not sticking , you end up having to muscle up the whole toilet and set it straight down from about 8'' off the floor since the accordian portion makes that imperative. Compare that lift to the 2-3'' you need to lift to not deform your wax ring . Maybe that's why wax has been used for 100? yrs . I don't know exactly but a LONG time . Yes, the wax is gooey, gets discolored and looks bad when you lift the toilet , but it works . I'll take that trade off.
Sounds like user error. If you can't lift a toilet then that's your problem not the product.
Doesn’t work worth a shit on cast iron.
Anyone use this yet? Maybe i'll try it out on a service call.
had a handyman use one as a kid on a toilet. didnt work. someone must use them though they have been around nearly a decade now.
why is this not in your website?
Hi Sebastian - check out this link to learn more about our Hulk coupling: www.fernco.com/hulk-coupling
Tried two of them they both leaked. Seemed like a good idea but when I went back to Menards the guy there said many people have problems with them
With the last two toilets I replaced, I used a similar wax free seal to this one; but this time around I was unable to find the same one. I considered the Danco perfect Seal, but was put off by a comment that I read about attempting to use it for an installation where the flange lower surface is at floor level, which is the case for my present basement toilet replacement. I could find no information on the Fernco unit that suggested that it was unsuitable for a flange-on-floor installation so I went ahead and purchased one. After a long struggle trying to get the toilet down to floor level, I abandoned the attempt and removed the toilet and the seal. It did seem that I might have been slightly misaligned, so I went ahead and purchased another Fernco seal. I took particular care to align things this time, however unfortunately the result was the same -- I couldn't get the toilet down to floor level. So, I resorted to the use of the wax ring supplied with the toilet and this worked perfectly with little effort! I note that the video features flanges that are below floor level, with just one picture of a flange that is perhaps half above floor level.
I had not heard of this one until I saw it in a store today. I put in a couple toilets for friend and bought the Fluidmaster and the Korky non-wax seals. The flanges were maybe a half inch above the floor. I felt too much rocking with the blue Fluidmaster one and wound up using the Korky red one. I still had to shim the heck out of the toilets and caulk to cure the rocking. I kind of wish I had used wax rings because I think they squish and compress in more and let the toilet base contact the floor. Thing is, unless you are a pro with a whole truck full of parts, you don't know what kind and height of flange you are going to encounter until you pull the old toilet.
Will this work on an older cast iron flange with cast iron pipe?
how many years does the adhesive seal last?
When mine came, the adhesive was pathetically weak and the fernco kept falling off trying to set the toilet. I shouldn't have trusted it to seal without silicone or some other sealant. I did three of my neighbors with sealant on the fernco AND a wax bowl ring over the last 3 years and have had no problems since then.
Is there sound to this video?
There is no sound to this video. It is silent.
Amazing product
Where can I get this product.
These work fantastic.
Is there a more in depth video?
Your Flexible Qwik Trap saved the day! I had to replace the drain trap under my bathroom sink. My house was built in 1950 and the distance from the drain pipe to the sink's tail pipe is only 7 inches. That's not enough room for a new trap. The new traps are not as compact as my original, they don't fit. The solution was your Flexible Qwik Trap, a flexible rubber drain trap. It fits nicely. Eventually I'll have to have my house re-piped. But for now your product saved the day. Thanks!
cool but i wish they made smaller icons for 1 1/2 pipe and up.
most of your products are good like quick seal manhole adapters, rubber reducing couplings, rubber couplings, rubber doughnuts, rubber caps and rubber bushings. however many of your products are not good for code reasons. some of the common not up to code items are quick elbows and tees, rubber j bend, power wrap and many more. those not code approved items should not be sold at stores.
i just going to stick with cutting in a coupler.
I’m using this coupling for some flexibility in long runs of schedule 40 PVC pipe. Should I use PVC glue at this coupling? It’s going to be under a concrete patio so I want this tight and leak proof. Assuming it’s OK to use this under a patio pour with schedule 40!
i have used twice so far with no issues
@0:24 this video must be old see the 1990s Genova twist-lok tee P.S don’t use the power pack
I would rather miss the hockey game and break a promise. this is not up to code fix it correctly.
He said....It looks like youve blown a seal.... Then the penguin said....No No No......I just had some ice cream.
I have one, Works Awesome! I need to replace the Toilet Bowl now, How do I remove it without breaking the Bowl?
You don’t do it yourself , that’s why your smart to pay $

I bought this but opted out and using the fluidmaster seal ( works like plastic wax with some cushion and support ) because what if the glue dries out and falls of one day? you will end up with a flooding toilet floor. Any glue will eventually dry and crack. I think they should add some spongy cushion under the glue. If just a 1/4" plastic rim, it will eventually become hard and deform or crack one day. There is no proof for my theory yet but I am just looking far ahead.
Does it fit like one size fits all for toilet flange that is below, above or flushed to the floor?
Yes, for the height. The different product sizes are for the width of the drain pipe.
How much do those "Fern Daddies" cost?
I only do a test right now and having hard time to push it in and pull back up. Do you use some lubricant?
You can use faucet grease.
@@DragonBuilds Glad to hear it. Fernco's pdf instruction for their donut say: "Lubricate the outside of the Donut with a soap solution" so that should also do.
How important is it to tighten to a specific torque?
very important for the lawyers.
Jeez. 20 seconds for the video introduction? What dummy did that.
