I am no professional. But this technique has worked for me.
It took me a few minutes, but I finally got what you were saying. The coupling you are talking about is a true 'no hub coupling' (the ones I was thinking of were black rubber sleeves, held in place and made water tight by clamps.) . I've never used one, nor do I know where to find one. I've only used 'hubbed' ( they have the 1/8" 'pipe stopper' in the middle of them) couplings - whence the 1&1/4" requirement in my last post. Is it sch 40 PVC?
For some reason, I am leery of those beasts (though I have NO reason to think that they won't hold or do the job) - call me a conservitive
