Stainless Steel
Shear Rods

The HULK is reinforced internally with corrosion-resistant stainless steel rods to help resist pipe shift from soil, traffic, or settlement. That reinforcement is what gives this coupling its muscle where underground connections need it most.

Muscle where it matters most

Below-Ground
Approved

Made for underground sewer and drain repair, the HULK brings heavy-duty construction to tough transitions and repair conditions. Use it when the job calls for a stronger, more versatile connection than a standard repair coupling.

Compliance

Complies with IPC, UPC, ASTM C1173, and CSA B602. U.S. Patent No. D956937.

FAQ

Common Questions

What makes the HULK different from a standard coupling?
The HULK is a stainless steel reinforced universal coupling with a wider dimensional range. It is built for tough underground repair conditions where pipe material or O.D. can vary.
What pipe materials can the HULK connect?
One HULK coupling per nominal size connects most common sewer and drain pipe materials, including clay, concrete, ductile iron, Orangeburg, Duriron, cast iron, steel, and plastic. Actual pipe O.D. should always be confirmed.
Is the HULK approved for underground use?
Yes. The HULK is engineered for below-ground sewer and drain repair applications.
How do I select the correct HULK size?
Start with the nominal pipe size, then measure the actual outside diameter of the pipe and confirm it falls within the listed O.D. range for that HULK part number.
What standards does the HULK comply with?
The HULK complies with IPC, UPC, ASTM C1173, and CSA B602.
