Teh all rubber “Fernco” is ONLY permitted underground “outside” the building. The banded ones are used indoors, and if they could not be used underground there is no way we could install cast iron drain systems.Click to see full answer. Moreover, can you bury Fernco fittings?A unshielded fernco should never be buried. Instead use a shielded coupling that is meant for direct burial in dwv.Likewise, can you bury a no hub coupling? Mission and husky couplings are allowed underground here, no hubs aswell. Have to fasten to 60ibs. Subsequently, one may also ask, can Fernco couplings be used above ground? You will not find it in the code that it is not allowed however in the both ICC and IAPMO testing sheets said they can only be used under ground, above ground you will have to use there sheilded coupling or nohub coupling. Both couplings will hold a water or air test.How long does a Fernco coupling last?about 10,000 years
