Fernco SC165 Shear-Banded Coupling 140 to 165 mm

The Fernco SC165 Shear-Banded Coupling is a heavy-duty flexible connector designed for drainage and pipework with outside diameters between 140 mm and 165 mm. Part of Ferncos shear-banded range, this coupling blends a flexible EPDM rubber body with advanced shear-banded stainless steel clamps to deliver superior clamp force, dependable sealing and long-term reliability even in challenging conditions.

Shear Banded Drain Coupling Data Sheet

Shear-banded clamps are engineered to retain torque and grip strength more effectively than standard clamp bands, providing exceptional resistance to loosening under vibration, temperature changes or ground movement. The flexible rubber sleeve compensates for minor pipe misalignment and allows smooth transitions between mixed materials such as PVC, clay, concrete and cast iron pipework. This makes the SC165 ideal for commercial and industrial drainage systems where performance and durability matter.

Installation is quick and straightforward using common tools, helping to minimise labour time and reduce site disruption. The SC165s robust design ensures a secure, airtight and watertight joint capable of withstanding environmental stress and day-to-day use.
