Fernco Inc P1055-66 Flexible Pipe Coupling 6 Inches

Product Description

The FERNCO INC P1055-66 is a 6-inch flexible pipe coupling designed to join dissimilar pipe materials in drain, waste, and vent applications. It connects asbestos cement or ductile iron pipe to Transite pipe, accommodating minor misalignment and eliminating the need for rigid mechanical joints. The coupling uses a shear ring and clamp band system typical of FERNCO-style couplings to create a leak-resistant, root-resistant seal. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on underground or above-grade piping systems where material transitions are required.

This coupling is suited for residential and commercial plumbing repair and replacement work. It is particularly useful when replacing sections of aging Transite or asbestos cement sewer pipe that connects to ductile iron mains or laterals. The flexible elastomeric sleeve conforms to the pipe surface to maintain a tight seal even when pipes are not perfectly aligned. Plumbers working on municipal sewer laterals, storm drain systems, or building drain transitions will find this coupling appropriate for those material pairings.

Key Features

• 6-inch nominal pipe size accommodates standard ductile iron and Transite pipe diameters
• Flexible elastomeric sleeve allows minor angular and linear misalignment
• Designed specifically for asbestos cement or ductile iron to Transite transitions
• Shear ring and stainless steel clamp band design resists pullout and provides consistent clamping force
• No solvent cement or heat required for installation

Compatibility

Designed for joining asbestos cement or ductile iron pipe to Transite pipe at 6-inch nominal pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local equivalents. Shut off flow and relieve any pressure in the line before cutting or removing pipe sections. Pipe ends should be clean, debris-free, and within the allowable diameter range before seating the coupling sleeve. Do not overtighten clamp bands beyond the fitting manufacturer guidelines, as this can distort the sleeve and compromise the seal.
