Fernco Inc P1056-215 Flexible Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The FERNCO INC P1056-215 is a flexible reducing coupling designed to join 2-inch pipe to 1.5-inch pipe in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. It ships with two stainless steel clamps that compress a flexible elastomeric sleeve against both pipe ends to form a leak-resistant, shear-resistant connection. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a reducing transition is needed without solvent welding, threading, or hot work. The stainless steel clamp hardware resists corrosion in wet, below-grade, and exposed-pipe environments.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing repairs and new installations. It is commonly used at stack connections, branch transitions, and repair sections where the existing pipe diameter steps down from 2 inches to 1.5 inches. The flexible sleeve absorbs minor misalignment and offset, which makes it practical for retrofit work in tight or irregular spaces.

Key Features

• Reduces 2-inch pipe to 1.5-inch pipe in a single fitting
• Includes two stainless steel clamps for secure, corrosion-resistant clamping
• Flexible elastomeric sleeve accommodates minor pipe misalignment
• Connects cast iron pipe to cast iron, or plastic pipe to plastic, or cast iron to plastic
• No solvent cement, threading, or open flame required for installation

Compatibility

Connects cast iron or plastic pipe to cast iron or plastic pipe at a 2-inch to 1.5-inch reducing transition in DWV applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off flow and drain the line before cutting in the fitting. Slide clamps onto each pipe end before inserting the sleeve, then tighten clamp hardware evenly to the sleeve manufacturer's guidance using a nut driver or hex driver. Inspect both pipe ends for burrs or sharp edges and deburr as needed to avoid sleeve damage.
