Transition Couplings
Transition Couplings: Engineered Solutions for Different Pipe Sizes
Transition Couplings deliver the original technology specifically engineered for connecting pipes with different outside diameters while maintaining superior alignment and sealing performance. Featuring either a conical shape or built in special thick rubber center stop, these couplings excel at creating reliable transitions between mismatched pipe sizes. Couplings accommodate virtually any pipe material combination including clay, plastic, cast iron, ductile iron, and asbestos cement. Available with removable filler rings (bushing/ rubber center stop) for enhanced diameter adaptation, these transition solutions eliminate the complexity traditionally associated with connecting different-sized pipes.
The integrated progression technology transforms standard pipe transitions into engineered connection points that ensure perfect alignment between dissimilar diameters while preventing pipe end damage through proper separation control. This precision-molded feature establishes ideal compression zones on both sides of the coupling, creating redundant sealing surfaces that maintain separate pressure boundaries for each pipe segment. Whether transitioning between different pipe materials or connecting modern pipe materials to legacy pipe infrastructure, these couplings deliver watertight performance that exceeds ASTM standards while withstanding over 4.3 psi hydrostatic pressure under deflection conditions.
