Product Description
160mm Slip Coupler
The 160mm slip coupler is an essential underground drainage fitting designed to connect or repair sections of 160mm pipe without the need for dismantling existing runs. Its slip-on design allows the coupler to be pushed over the pipe ends, making it well suited for extensions or repairs where access is limited or pipe alignment needs to be adjusted. :contentReference{index=0}
