Is it up to code to use a Flexible Rubber Coupling for this join?
My Condo Association sent plumbers to replace part of the old cast-iron pipe in my "kitchen" with the white PVC pipe and they used a Flexible Rubber Coupling whereas before a Shielded No-Hub Coupling was used.
I tried to do some research and found this in the 2020 Plumbing Code (https://up.codes/viewer/florida/fl-plumbing-code-2020/chapter/7/sanitary-drainage#705.3.3): " Mechanical joint couplings for hubless pipe and fittings shall consist of an elastomeric sealing sleeve and a metallic shield".
(I'm in Florida in case it matters).
I have a leak from a sink drain line in a wall located above my garage. Had a plumber out today to fix it and he said it was this 90° fitting that was leaking. He installed these two rubber couplers (fernco coupler?) both above and below the elbow. This, unfortunately, was not the actual problem and now we are having to have the wall above ripped out to find the actual leak. The question is, are these couplers considered a permanent fix? Thank you in advance.
