Fernco Standard Coupling - 360-385mm

The Fernco Standard Coupling is primarily used for connecting and repairing adopted sewer and drainage systems in infrastructure projects.

You will need a standard nut driver and a torque spanner to ensure the correct and secure installation of the coupling.

It is designed for connecting plain-ended pipes within the specified diameter range (360-385mm) commonly used in sewer and drainage applications.

The integrated 304 stainless steel central shear band protects the joint against pipe displacement under shear loads, maintaining pipe alignment and joint integrity.

While designed for underground sewer and drainage, its durable construction may allow for above-ground applications where similar pipe sizes and environmental conditions apply, though its primary certification is for subsurface use.

The coupling is engineered and tested to meet stringent performance requirements, including creating airtight and watertight seals and providing resistance to shear loads, which are critical for adopted sewer and drainage systems in the UK.

The coupling creates a permanent sealing performance, designed for the long lifespan expected of sewer and drainage infrastructure.

Ensure the pipe ends are clean and smooth. Verify that the correct torque has been applied using a calibrated torque spanner. Check that the coupling is correctly centered over both pipes.

Ensure the correct nut driver is being used. Check for any debris or damage within the clamp mechanism. Do not force the clamps; ensure proper alignment.

Confirm that the 304 stainless steel central shear band is properly engaged and functioning. Ensure pipes are adequately supported and aligned before and during tightening.
