Meet the Advanced Drainage Systems 8 in. Snap X 8 in. D Snap Polyethylene 10 in. Split Coupler — a purpose-built, two-piece connector designed for reliable underground piping. Its split, snap-on design makes installation around existing pipe sections straightforward, minimizing trench time and disruption on both DIY projects and professional installations.
Why this coupler stands out
-
Split, snap-on ends on both 8-inch openings allow quick, tool-free installation without having to cut or disassemble surrounding piping.
-
Polyethylene construction delivers durable, corrosion-resistant performance in buried environments, resisting soil moisture and chemical exposure.
-
Underground rated for in-ground use, giving you confidence in long-term reliability beneath the surface.
-
10-inch length provides adequate coverage for smooth transitions and proper alignment between pipes.
-
Lead-free material with ANSI certification supports safe, code-compliant installations; note: not IAPMO certified and not NSF listed.
-
End connections feature 8-inch snap ends on both sides for a secure, pressurized seal when joined to compatible polyethylene piping.
-
Packaging is bagged, with 1 piece per package for easy inventory and ordering.
Ideal use cases
This split coupler is well-suited for retrofitting or repairing buried 8-inch polyethylene lines in residential, commercial, or municipal projects. Use it to bridge segments when upgrading water supply or drainage runs, or to create a reliable join in tight spaces where full-length couplers are impractical. The snap design accelerates installation in the field, reducing labor time while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant connection.
Practical tips for best results
- Ensure pipe ends are clean and dry before installation for an optimal snap fit.
- Position the split housing around the pipe sections, then snap the halves together to form a tight seal.
- Verify the 8-inch end diameters align with your piping to avoid misfit or gaps.
- Adhere to the 150°F maximum temperature rating when planning system operation or nearby heat sources.
- Keep in mind the product’s packaging and lead-free, ANSI-certified credentials as part of your project compliance documentation.
