What they’re for
Made for corrugated drainage pipe
Tie corrugated polyethylene drainage and irrigation lines into sewer, drain or DWV plastic pipe, or join two runs of corrugated pipe. For storm and sub-soil drainage, farm irrigation and residential work.
3″ to 8″
Flexible couplings
1070 couplings connect corrugated pipe to plastic, in straight and reducing sizes.
10″ to 60″
Strong Back HTRC shielded
Large diameter couplings with a stainless steel shear ring and high torque clamps.
Transitions
Straight and reducing
Same-size and reducing sizes across the line, such as 8″ corrugated to 4″ plastic.
2 pairings
To plastic or corrugated
1070 connects corrugated to plastic. 1071 connects corrugated to corrugated.
Two lines
3″ to 8″ couplings or Strong Back HTRC, 10″ to 60″
1070 and 1071 RC, 3″ to 8″
Flexible couplings with stainless steel clamps, tightened to 60 in-lb. The 1070 connects corrugated pipe to plastic. The 1071 RC connects corrugated to corrugated.
Strong Back HTRC shielded, 10″ to 60″
For gravity flow sewer and storm water systems. High torque clamps, tightened to 120 in-lb, are designed for a greater sealing force on corrugated pipe, and a .012″ thick, 300 series stainless steel shear ring helps keep the pipe in line against shear forces from soil compaction, shifting and settling. Shield clamps tighten to 60 in-lb. The flexible PVC gasket makes 360° contact.
Additional Strong Back HTRC sizes are available on request. Beyond 60″ or an odd O.D.? See Large Diameter Couplings. Conditions vary by region and job. Always follow the project specifications and your local codes and regulations.

Installation
Five steps
1
Loosen the clamps
Loosen the stainless steel clamps. Don’t remove them from the coupling.
2
Over the corrugated pipe
Slide the coupling over the end of the corrugated pipe, getting the corrugation past the rib inside the coupling.
3
Insert the spigot
Insert the plain spigot end of the PVC pipe into the other end of the coupling.
4
Tighten
Tighten the clamps to 60 in-lb. On Strong Back HTRC, tighten the coupling clamps to 120 in-lb and the shield clamps to 60 in-lb.
5
Test and backfill
Pressure test before backfilling or concealing the joint, to a maximum of 4.3 psi. Bed and backfill properly.
Caution: over tightening the clamp on the corrugated pipe end can collapse the pipe wall.
