Flexible rubber couplers ? - Where do i get them from ?

Foul and surface water, private drains and public sewers, land drains and soakaways, filter drains and any other ways of getting rid of water.

Anybody know where I can get the flexible rubber couplings as at bottm of page:
Pipe connector
I am aware of the expensive variants by Flexseal ... these have 2 stainless straps as well ... too pricey.

The rubber slip coupling shown on the above page would be much simpler.

Scenario :
I have a number of Polystorm Lite crates these have a 160mm knockout for 150 pipes .... I am connecting up 80mm land drainage flexible pipes ... so simplest way would be to push in an off cut of 150mm pipe ... then use one of the flexible couplers shown ... maybe I will need to step down 150 to 110 first ...

Be keen to know where those simple couplers came from.

Personally I would just pipe the land drains directly into the crates and not bother with the 150 pipework.

OK ... all for not spending money.

There is a 160mm collar .. where you can knock out the 'spider web' inside it to create a i60mm hole .. for sliding in a 150mm pipe.

Do you suggest knocking through all of this hole or simply cut a hole elsewhere to suit 80mm pipe.

Do I need to protect it at all at point on entry into crate ... flexible pipe is not that strong ?

Yeah just make a neat 80mm hole perhaps with a hole cutter anywhere on the crate. Neat job for minimal outlay!

Ta ... ... easy to do, I was worried that it would not support pipe correctly in event of any settlement ... maybe it does not matter
