What they say

Hide

You can see right here that this side, this rubber, there's a lot more meat on it, and it actually works really well with this skinnier pipe. So you're just able to stick that right on there, and that fits right in there, and then the other side doesn't have as much meat on it, and it just goes right in the other side. You're able to pop these together, you're able to tighten them up, and that's how you adapt from inch and a half copper over to inch and a half ABS, PVC, cast iron.
