Jcm Industries 241-0550 Metal Bolted Coupling 4 Inch

Product Description

The JCM INDUSTRIES 241-0550 is a bolted metal coupling designed for pipe joining and repair in water, wastewater, and industrial piping systems. It accommodates outside diameters from 4.46 inches to 5.60 inches, making it suitable for nominal 4-inch pipe across a range of pipe materials and wall schedules. The Quantum series uses a bolted sleeve construction that compresses a gasket around the pipe to form a pressure-rated mechanical seal. This coupling is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or water utility technicians working on buried or exposed piping infrastructure.

This coupling is used in residential, commercial, and municipal applications where a fast, reliable mechanical pipe connection or repair is needed without welding or threading. It is well suited for joining pipe sections of the same or slightly differing outside diameters within the 4.46 to 5.60 inch OD range. Common install scenarios include water main repair, force main connections, and service line tie-ins where the pipe OD falls within the rated range.

Key Features

• Bolted metal sleeve construction provides a secure, pressure-rated mechanical seal
• Fits outside diameters from 4.46 inches to 5.60 inches, covering nominal 4-inch pipe in multiple materials
• No welding or threading required for installation
• Quantum series design allows for transition coupling between pipes of differing OD within the rated range
• Order increment of 1 for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mechanical coupling for nominal 4-inch pipe applications where the outside diameter falls between 4.46 inches and 5.60 inches, including various pipe schedules and materials common to water and wastewater distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before installing the coupling. Ensure pipe ends are clean, smooth, and free of burrs or sharp edges before seating the gasket. Tighten bolts evenly in an alternating pattern to the coupling manufacturer's recommended procedure to achieve uniform gasket compression.
