While straight pipes and offset bends are the mainstay of drainage jobs, pipe connectors and couplings are what brings it all together. Finding the right products allows you to join sections of pipe and provide secure, leak-free connections across drainage, water supply, and HVAC systems. Pipe coupling components might be used on a newbuild, but also to repair damaged sections or extend existing lines in period properties.
Buildbuddy lists a range of useful options, including straight and standard connectors, as well as adaptor couplings for joining different sizes of pipe. These pieces are typically made from uPVC, brass, copper, or stainless steel, depending on what’s needed. They come from a range of trusted brands, including Flexseal and Fernco.
Historically, lead, clay, and cast-iron drainage was standard, joined with molten lead, hemp, or compression seals. While you’re unlikely to work with those today, knowledge of older system is helpful if you need to upgrade legacy infrastructure.
