Fernco 1056-88 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Fernco 1056-88 flexible coupling join?
The 1056-88 is an 8 inch by 8 inch coupling, so it joins two 8 inch pipe ends of the same size. It is a straight coupling, not a reducer, so if one side of your run is a different diameter you need a reducing coupling instead.
2) Is the Fernco 1056-88 a rubber shielded coupling or a plain compression coupling?
It is a flexible PVC compression coupling. The sleeve is clamped down onto both pipe ends to make the seal, rather than relying on a stainless steel shear band the way a shielded transition coupling does. For buried or unsupported runs where the joint has to resist shear, specify a shielded coupling instead.
3) Can I use an 8 inch Fernco coupling to repair a broken section of drain line without cutting threads or solvent welding?
That is exactly the job this coupling is for. The 1056-88 slips over two 8 inch pipe ends and clamps down, so the repair is mechanical, no solvent cement, no threading, no torch. Cut the damaged section out square, slide the coupling on, and tighten the clamps.
4) Does the Fernco 1056-88 coupling come with the clamps, or do I buy those separately?
The clamps are part of the coupling assembly, so the 1056-88 arrives as a complete unit ready to install. The only tool you need on site is a nut driver or torque wrench for the clamp screws.
