Hello
Would you be able to tell me the name of this rubber or where I can purchase it?
Under the sinck by the wall, I found it. This image is NOT where I found it. However, this image shows where it was installed under the sinck.
Thank you for your help

Yes the rubber is a push gasket
The piece that is circled is a slip trap adapter
I see no reason for any push gasket, seems to be just trash

if there was a 2 inch cast iron hub facing out of the wall that at one time may have had a galvanized nipple leaded into it and someone removed the lead and oakum along with the galvanized nipple to replace it with plastic, i could see a use for a push gasket.

This fitting will get you out of a jam, just cut out everything that's 1 1/2" and leave the hub there, glues rite over the hub. The fitting is called a ( Jones Stephens P22100 ).

Did not know that fitting existed. Good to know. Thanks for the information.
Looks like it is what poster "agentzed (ME)" could use......to solve his cracked hub.

Never seen this fitting before.
So it fits over a hub in a repair situation?
Looking at it the first thing that came to mind was how does one deal with the raised lettering and the 45 degree marks around the outside of the original hub if they need to be sanded off first so I Googled this fitting and amongst the specifications it says "raised lettering actually improve chemical bonds". Good to know.

yes, but only at the point where the raised letters make contact and create pressure
the area of the joint AROUND/ADJACENT the lettering is no better than a 'slip fit' NON tapered repair coupling, perhaps worse, BECAUSE of the raised lettering
