Product Identity
The Fernco 1056-42 is a flexible reducing coupling designed to join a four inch nominal pipe to a two inch nominal pipe in drainage systems. It is manufactured from HAWA material and supplied in new condition for plumbing professionals and DIY installers.
Suitability
This coupling suits installers who need a transition between dissimilar pipe diameters in drain, waste or vent applications. It is not for buyers who require a straight coupling for equal pipe sizes or a fitting rated for pressurised water supply lines.
Deciding Specification
The defining detail is the nominal pipe size combination of four inches by two inches with female ends on both sides, which determines whether this part matches the pipe diameters on site.

Questions about this item
What pipe sizes does the 1056-42 reducing coupling connect?
The 1056-42 connects a nominal 4 inch pipe to a nominal 2 inch pipe, accommodating outside diameters from approximately 4 inches up to 5 inches on the large end and 2 inches up to 3 inches on the small end.
How does the flexible coupling seal without glue or threads?
The coupling uses a flexible elastomer sleeve that slides over both pipe ends; stainless steel clamps are then tightened to compress the sleeve against each pipe, creating a watertight seal through friction and compression.
What clearance is needed to install the 1056-42 in a trench or wall cavity?
The coupling has an overall length of 4 inches, so you need at least that much straight run on each pipe plus room for a screwdriver or nut driver to tighten the two clamp bands.
