'"drain pipe connection" "avloppsstos"' yields 43 Google hits.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Mats Wiman : 'connection' does not express that it is a 'flange sleeve' which 'stos' does. ;-) AND: "43 Google hits" having what significance? The existence of 43 Google hits on an unsufficient translation ('connection') does not make 'connection' right, does it?

One does no longer use Germanic over-precision in modern English (except in legal texts); look upon it as the progress from "bicycle" to "cycle". Thus no "-stos" in the proffered translation.

OK, 'drain pipe flange sleeve' does. Our difference is about 'connection' vs 'flange sleeve'
