Fernco AC4000 Adaptor Coupling: Seamless Connections for Varied Pipe Systems
The Fernco AC4000 Adaptor Coupling is the essential solution for confidently joining drainage pipes with varying outside diameters and material types. Engineered for both efficiency and durability, this adaptor provides a permanent, watertight, and airtight seal, making it ideal for a wide range of drainage applications.
Key Features:
- Universal Compatibility: Designed to connect pipes of different materials, including plastic, concrete, and clay, bridging the gap between traditional and modern pipe systems.
- Variable Diameter Connection: The AC4000 specifically connects pipes with an outside diameter of 121-136mm on one end and 110-121mm on the other, making it a perfect “reducer” or “adaptor” for non-standard pipe configurations.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured with a stepped, moulded EPDM rubber sleeve for flexibility and resilience, coupled with two high-grade 304 stainless steel clamping bands for a secure, long-lasting grip. (Note: Some variants may feature 316 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion protection, or nitrile sleeves for hydrocarbon resistance).
- Quick & Easy Installation: Simple to fit, requiring only a nut driver and torque wrench to tighten the bands and achieve a reliable seal in seconds.
- Airtight and Watertight Seal: Once installed, it forms a robust connection that prevents leaks and ensures the integrity of your drainage system.
- Durable Performance: Resistant to weathering, frost, and fading, with a pressure rating of 0.6 bar (8.70 psi) and a temperature range of -50°C to 80°C (constant), up to 100°C intermittently.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Offers an inexpensive and efficient alternative to using traditional bushes or complex pipe adjustments.
- Tried and Tested Reliability: Backed by Fernco (formerly Flexseal’s) extensive experience in flexible couplings for over 30 years.
Ideal For:
- Connecting pipes in unadopted or private drainage systems.
- Housing developments and private roads.
- Industrial sites and agricultural land.
- Repairing existing pipework with different diameters.
