Flexseal Adaptor Couplings, also known as reducer couplings, are designed to connect drainage pipe...Flexseal Adaptor Couplings, also known as reducer couplings, are designed to connect drainage pipes with different outside diameters. They allow for the connection of larger drainage pipes to smaller ones and vice versa. These couplings conform to EN295-4 and are made from EPDM rubber compliant with BS EN684, featuring Grade 307 stainless steel clamps. They offer a quick, efficient, reliable, and tested method for connecting pipes of various materials and outside diameters, suitable for a wide range of pipe configurations. They create a permanent airtight and watertight seal and are easy to fit. Applications include housing sites, private roads, industrial sites, and agricultural land. The size range available is A: 110-125mm and B: 100-115mm.
This guide is for anyone using Flexseal Adaptor Couplings, ideal for connecting drainage pipes of different sizes. The key benefit is a quick, efficient, and reliable method for creating airtight and watertight seals. Note that specific size compatibility is crucial for proper function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the pipes are clean and free from debris. Measure the outside diameters to confirm compatibility with the coupling.
Fitting: Slide the coupling over the ends of the pipes to be connected, ensuring the pipes are fully inserted into the coupling.
Clamping: Tighten the stainless steel clamps using the appropriate tool (usually a screwdriver or wrench) until the connection is secure and watertight.
Compatibility: This coupling is designed to connect pipes with outside diameters in the range of A: 110-125mm and B: 100-115mm. Ensure your pipe sizes fall within this range.
Care: Regularly inspect the coupling for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure clamps remain tightly fastened. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the EPDM rubber.
