a pipe coupling apparatus adapted to allow for the connection of older , common sewer or drain pipe made of concrete , clay or the like to that of the newer style polymers such as abs , cpcv , pvc and the like . it accomplishes this through a novel connection method that eliminates having to cut off the bell end of the older sewer or drain pipe and provides for a method of stabilizing the alignment of the two connected pipes . the apparatus incorporates a pipe coupling and a flexible polymer transition sleeve , and depending on the dimensions of the pipes involved , may require an optional spacer seal ring . the assembly time is greatly reduced over the prior art methodologies and the coupled pipes are less likely to leak . it is available in both eccentric and concentric configurations .
