There is though from what i can see and feel nome within the area where the Fernocs connect.

I seem to have a very small small leak on two Ferncos I installed yesterday. I have cut a wye into my 4" cast iron waste line for a new basement bathroom and used 2 Ferncos intended for cast to PVC. The gap from Cast to PVC is 1/4" on each end so no sagging. The Ferncos are good and tight but...
