Fernco AC4000 Adaptor Coupling: Seamless Connections for Varied Pipe Systems

Seamless Connections for Varied Pipe Systems The Fernco / Flexseal 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. Other diameters and specifications are available from Cartmore stock.

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.
