8" x 6" flexible coupling for DWV and sewer
This Fernco 1056-86 coupling creates a leakproof joint in drain, waste, vent and sewer lines. It joins 8 inch pipe to 6 inch pipe made from cast iron, plastic, copper, steel or lead. The flexible design absorbs movement and misalignment while resisting corrosion, rot, sunlight and chemical degradation.
Replaces rigid fittings where alignment
Use this coupling when you need to connect dissimilar pipe materials or bridge slight offsets that rigid fittings cannot tolerate. The jump is worth it on repair jobs where excavation space is limited and a quick, adaptable seal saves time over traditional hub-and-spigot or solvent-weld methods.
Installs with standard band clamps, no special tools
Slide the coupling over the prepared pipe ends, centre it over the joint and tighten the included stainless steel clamps with a screwdriver or nut driver. The most common error is under-tightening the clamps, which can allow the coupling to shift under ground movement or hydrostatic pressure. Ensure pipe ends are clean and cut square before fitting.

Questions about this item
What pipe diameters does the 8" x 6" coupling connect?
The coupling joins an 8-inch pipe to a 6-inch pipe in drain, waste, vent or sewer systems.
How is the Fernco 1056-86 installed and what step is often missed?
Slide the coupling over both pipe ends and tighten the stainless-steel clamps; the step often missed is ensuring the pipe ends are clean and fully seated before torquing the bands.
Will the rubber sleeve need replacement and how can I tell?
The elastomer resists corrosion, rot, sunlight and chemicals, so it lasts for decades; inspect for cracking or softening during routine sewer maintenance.
