Midland Industries Stainless Steel Fittings

Overview

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 970834 is a heavy-duty, 6-band no-hub coupling designed for joining cast iron drain, waste, and vent pipe without hub connections. Built from 316 stainless steel bands and a rubber sleeve, this coupling delivers a secure, leak-resistant joint rated to 4.3 psi. It accepts 5-inch pipe on both ends using standard no-hub connection geometry. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in gravity-flow drain and vent systems where a durable, corrosion-resistant joint is required. The 6-band configuration provides added clamping force over standard 2- or 4-band couplings, making it the right choice for higher-stress or longer-span piping runs. The 970834 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving 5-inch no-hub cast iron or compatible pipe. Typical uses include underground drain lines, above-slab waste stacks, and building drain connections where vibration, soil movement, or thermal cycling demands a heavy-duty clamp design. The rubber sleeve accommodates minor pipe misalignment and absorbs vibration. This coupling is intended for drain, waste, and vent service within the rated temperature range of -30 degrees F to 140 degrees F.
