I wouldn’t sweat it too much if it is strictly a vent, however, if it’s a wet vent or waste line, it may become an issue.

Speaking of orientation, the best camera I’ve ever had is a Kodak CX 7330. When I turn the camera sideways, it automatically orients the picture properly, so I don’t have to do it on my computer.

I am no expert, but I have seen these bands used as the connections in industrial Duriron drains and on cast iron soil pipe.


Since plastic can coldflow over time, I suppose there is a possibility that eventually a leak may develope.

That's what happens when you allow MacGyver to use your bathroom. ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif)

If too much heat is applied or if the plastic is heated for too long a time, the molecular chains break, causing permanent property degradation -- particularly toughness. Continuous pressure (bending or deforming) on a molded part also causes the chains to slide over each other, resulting in creep, or cold flow, which can seriously affect part dimensions.


Seems to be the natural tendency of plastic to continue to change under pressure from what I can tell.

“plastic to continue to change under pressure” Very much a problem when someone uses tight tywraps, clamps, staples to secure wire and cables, In some telecom areas - no tywraps at ALL - Just lacing


Can cut through the insulation like a knife

I would be more concerned with the fact that it looks like they are not put sheating or vapor barrier back. I would not be surprised if they just put siding across the opening.

Looks like a Fernco clamp. It is used alot when changing from cast iron to PVC and according to their website it is used for cast iron to cast iron or Plastic to Plastic.

I don’t see any issue with the clamp, but I would sure like to know how they are planning on repairing the wall. Has the building inspector approved this?
