Fernco 1056-65 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Fernco 1056-65 coupling join?
The Fernco 1056-65 is a reducing flexible coupling that joins 6 inch pipe on one end to 5 inch pipe on the other. Order it when you need to step down a line by one nominal size rather than make a straight 6-to-6 connection.
2) Is the Fernco 1056-65 a flexible coupling or a rigid fitting?
It is a flexible compression coupling, not a solvent-weld or threaded fitting. The sleeve slips over both pipe ends and clamps down, so it absorbs minor misalignment between the two pipes instead of forcing them into rigid alignment. That is what makes it usable in a repair cut where the existing line will not move.
3) Do I need glue or primer to install the Fernco 1056-65?
No cement, primer, or heat is needed. The 1056-65 is a compression style coupling, so installation is mechanical: slide the sleeve over the pipe ends and tighten the clamps. That makes it workable on wet lines and in tight crawl spaces where solvent welding is not practical.
4) How do I identify this Fernco reducing coupling when ordering?
Ask for Fernco part number 1056-65. The 1056 series designation covers the PVC flexible compression couplings, and the -65 suffix indicates the 6 inch to 5 inch reducing size.
5) Is a Fernco flexible coupling appropriate for a buried sewer or drain repair?
Flexible compression couplings like the 1056-65 are the common choice for drain, waste, and vent repair work where two pipe ends of different sizes have to be joined without disturbing the run. They are not pressure fittings, so use them on gravity drain and sewer lines rather than on supply piping.
