Fernco sr15 Stainless Steel Shear Ring 15 Inches

Product Description

The FERNCO sr15 is a stainless steel shear ring designed to maintain proper pipe alignment in unstable or shifting ground conditions. At 15 inches in length with a 2-inch size, this ring provides structural support at flexible pipe couplings, resisting lateral movement and shear forces that occur during soil settlement or seismic activity. Licensed plumbers and underground utility contractors install this component as part of a complete flexible coupling assembly. Bushings are sold separately and are used for material transition or size reduction when the application requires it.

The sr15 is suited for underground drainage and sewer applications where ground movement poses a risk to joint integrity. It is commonly installed alongside Fernco flexible couplings in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, soil-contact environments, making it appropriate for both new construction and repair work where long-term durability is required.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in underground and wet environments
• 15-inch length provides extended alignment support at flexible couplings
• 2-inch size fits standard pipe coupling assemblies
• Maintains joint alignment under unstable or shifting ground conditions
• Bushings sold separately to accommodate material transitions and size reductions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style shear ring for use with flexible pipe couplings in underground plumbing and sewer applications where alignment support is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber working on underground drain, waste, or sewer lines. Confirm the pipe is depressurized and the work area is safely excavated before beginning assembly. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for underground joint support and bedding. Bushings for material transition or size reduction must be sourced and installed separately.
