A: Can’t answer definitely but as long as it’s real snug I don’t see why not. And yes, I applied silicone around the pipe before lowering the collar onto the pipe (and onto the silicone). There is a This Old House video on this topic on You Tube that may be helpful. Hope this helps.

A: I stretched it over my piping for a really tight fit. A portion of the inner ring can be removed for larger piping.

A: Yes. The dimension listed on the product is nominal. It will stretch to accommodate the actual size.

A: Yes, it worked for me. The rubber was surprisingly flexible, and if the inside is lubed with a little silicon grease (or similar, I guess you could use Crisco or other non-petroleum grease), and additionally the collar is soaked in some hot water before sliding on, it makes the installation much easier.
