Fernco fernco-1002-66 Flexible Pipe Coupling 6 in

Product Description

The FERNCO fernco-1002-66 is a flexible shielded pipe coupling designed to join 6-inch clay pipe to PVC pipe in underground or above-ground drainage and sewer applications. The coupling uses a elastomeric sleeve that conforms to minor dimensional variations in pipe outside diameters, creating a leak-proof seal without the need for special tools or adhesives. Licensed plumbers and sewer contractors rely on this coupling type for repair and new-installation work where dissimilar pipe materials must be joined. The sleeve is secured by stainless steel clamp bands that compress evenly around the pipe ends to maintain a watertight connection.

This coupling is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, particularly in drain, waste, and vent lines where older clay sewer pipe connects to newer PVC piping. Typical install scenarios include sewer lateral repairs, point repairs on aging clay infrastructure, and transition connections at cleanouts or wye fittings. The coupling accommodates clay-to-PVC transitions that are common in older residential neighborhoods undergoing partial sewer line replacement.

Key Features

• Joins 6-inch clay pipe to 6-inch PVC pipe without cement or special fittings
• Elastomeric sleeve conforms to pipe outside diameter variations for a leak-proof seal
• Stainless steel clamp bands provide even compression and long-term corrosion resistance
• Clearly marked with part number, size, and compatible pipe materials for jobsite identification
• Suitable for plastic, cast iron, clay, concrete, steel, copper, and ductile iron pipe materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flexible coupling for 6-inch clay to 6-inch PVC pipe connections in drain, waste, and sewer systems. Specific model compatibility should be confirmed against pipe outside diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or sewer contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Flow must be stopped and the work area made safe before cutting into an active sewer line. Pipe ends should be clean, free of burrs, and lubricated with the appropriate pipe lubricant before the sleeve is positioned. Clamp bands should be tightened evenly and to the torque range specified on the coupling packaging.
