FC1 Straight Coupling

Ford Cast Couplings offer an easy and economical way of joining pipe, whether the pipe is of the same nominal size and type or different at each coupling end. The FC1 is a straight coupling constructed entirely of ductile iron components, permitting a strong, durable connection. The FC1 is appropriate for joining cast, steel, ductile iron, or PVC pipe; it can also be used on HDPE pipe, though we recommend the use of a properly sized insert stiffener. Suggested uses for Ford FC1 Couplings include water main repair, joining of plain end pipe, valve and hydrant installation, and flexible joint installation at critical areas of water main stress.

The FC1 straight coupling is available in sizes from 2″ – 12″. Available options include 304 or 316 stainless steel hardware, epoxy coated couplings, blue fluorocarbon coated couplings, NBR (Buna-N) gaskets, EPDM gaskets, and 100% domestic made.

The FC1 is intended for joining pipes of the same material; to join pipes made of different materials, a transition coupling is needed, such as the FC2A or FC2W.
