Thousand bucks to anyone who's got boilerplate in their software for that.

"The sewage ejector pump lid and sump pump lids are sealed in place with Great Stuff Expanding Foam. While this provides an air seal, you'll have a difficult time removing it when maintenance or repairs to the pumps are needed. In addition, a rubber "Fernco Fittings" is in use inside the residence on the sewage ejector pump piping. The only "Fernco Fittings" that should be used inside a residence are supposed to be steel jacketed. This one isn't. It should be replaced with a steel jacketed "Fernco Fitting"

POI.........Fernco's are flexible PVC, not rubber.
I still think you should get the money, though.

Erby, is that because the rubber one would be subject to cracking and leaking? Do you have a picture of a steel jacketed one?

Jerry, don't pay a penny until you've talked to me. I can help you build a defense strategy that will keep this thing tied up in court for years. In the mean time, smile for the cameras and deny, deny, deny.

Fernco heaven in that shot John. Got it, PVC! So the steel wrap is needed in cases where there will be pressure, otherwise not?

I see on the Fernco site that both the regular and the steel wrapped fittings are only tested for 4.3 PSI. The steel wrapped fittings are designed for "resistance to heavy earth loads and shear forces, and provides improved pipe alignment." I see both fittings installed so frequently I never suspected they were so rated. Thanks to TIJ for the things I learn here.
