Fernco 1002-1010 Flexible Pipe Coupling 10 in Clay to Plastic

Product Description

The FERNCO 1002-1010 is a flexible shielded coupling designed to connect 10-inch clay pipe to cast iron or PVC plastic pipe. Built from durable plastic with a flexible elastomeric sleeve, this coupling creates a leak-resistant, no-hub transition joint without special tools or solvent welding. It is commonly installed in underground drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems where older vitrified clay sewer lines meet modern plastic or cast iron pipe. Licensed plumbers and sewer contractors rely on this coupling type for mainline sewer repairs, lateral connections, and pipe rehabilitation projects.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial sewer and drain applications. It bridges the gap between legacy clay sewer pipe and contemporary PVC or cast iron drain piping, making it a standard choice during sewer line replacement, point repair, or connection of new building laterals to existing clay mains. The 10-inch pipe size targets municipal-scale residential and small commercial sewer laterals.

Key Features

• Connects 10-inch clay pipe to 10-inch cast iron or PVC plastic pipe
• Flexible elastomeric sleeve accommodates minor pipe misalignment
• No-hub design eliminates the need for solvent welding or specialty fittings
• Plastic construction resists corrosion and chemical degradation common in sewer environments
• Compact profile at approximately 2.99 inches in length for tight installation clearances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style transition coupling for 10-inch clay-to-cast iron or clay-to-PVC pipe connections in residential and commercial DWV and sewer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or sewer contractor following applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) requirements. Ensure all pipe ends are clean, deburred, and free of soil or debris before seating the coupling sleeve. Shut off or divert flow in the line before beginning work. Stainless steel clamp bands should be tightened evenly and inspected after backfill settlement.
