What this fitting does
The Fernco 1056-84 FlexStraight is a flexible PVC reducing coupling that joins an 8-inch nominal pipe to a 4-inch nominal pipe using slip-on female connections. It is designed for drainage systems where a straight, watertight transition between two different pipe diameters is required.
When to choose this coupling
Use this coupling when you need to connect 8-inch and 4-inch PVC drain lines without rigid fittings or solvent welding. The flexible body absorbs minor misalignment and ground movement, making the jump worthwhile on retrofit jobs or where pipe settlement is expected.
How it fits the system
The coupling slides over the outside of each pipe and seals with stainless-steel clamps, so no primer or cement is needed. It requires 6 inches of straight pipe engagement on each side and frees the installer from precise alignment while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant joint.

Questions about this item
What pipe diameters does the 1056-84 FlexStraight connect?
The coupling joins an 8 in nominal PVC pipe to a 4 in nominal PVC pipe using slip-on female ends on both sides.
How do I install the FlexStraight reducing coupling and what step is often missed?
Slide each pipe into the flexible PVC sleeve, then tighten the stainless steel clamps evenly; the step often missed is checking that both pipes are fully seated before final clamp torque.
What maintenance or replacement will the 1056-84 need over time?
Inspect the flexible PVC body and clamps periodically for cracks, hardening or corrosion; replace the coupling if the sleeve shows deterioration or the clamps no longer seal.
