Introducing Koflex Reducing no hub couplings. These couplings feature a clamp, screws, and shield made entirely of stainless steel for maximum reliability and resistance to corrosion. Four reducing models are available and all come with 2 bands.
-Soft Rubber Gaskets Mold to the Pipes
-Watertight Seal
-Low Expansion and Contraction
-Resistance to Vibrations
