Flexible couplings of this type use a shear-ring and band-clamp design to create a watertight, pressure-rated mechanical joint without requiring solvent welding, threading, or hot work. The P1055-44 accommodates minor misalignment and slight pipe movement, making it a practical solution for repair and retrofit work in buried or above-grade drain, waste, and vent systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this product type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for residential and commercial plumbing applications where older Transite or asbestos cement pipe meets ductile iron pipe — a common scenario in aging infrastructure repairs, sewer lateral replacements, and drain system upgrades. The 4-inch by 4-inch nominal size fits standard 4-inch pipe outside diameters on both ends. It is sold individually (each) with a package quantity of 20 units per case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects asbestos cement or ductile iron pipe to Transite pipe in a single coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-inch by 4-inch nominal pipe size on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible construction accommodates minor angular misalignment and ground movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo soldering, threading, or hot work required for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as individual units; packaged 20 per case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 4-inch asbestos cement pipe, 4-inch ductile iron pipe, and 4-inch Transite pipe as stated by the manufacturer. Verify actual pipe outside diameters before installation to confirm fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off flow and relieve any pressure in the line before cutting or disturbing existing pipe. Clean pipe ends of dirt, debris, and burrs to ensure proper seating of the coupling sleeve. Tighten band clamps evenly and to the torque range specified on the coupling packaging or manufacturer installation sheet — do not over-torque, as this can distort the sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches x 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Asbestos Cement or Ductile Iron to Transite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FERNCO INC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: P1055-44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FERNCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525332238642,"sku":"P1055-44","price":156.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f60ae3f7142a3701496b8c95a6a41149_5bd2af90-cbff-469d-bed5-abffa5723a5b.jpg?v=1785470806","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/fernco-inc-p1055-44-flexible-pipe-coupling-4-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
