AMERICAN furnishes a line of 4"-48" Flex-Ring fittings that meets the applicable requirements of AWWA C110 or C153, depending on diameter and configuration. These fittings employ the standard Fastite or Fast-Grip gasket seal, and the joints meet the applicable requirements of AWWA C111. Some of these fittings are not specifically listed in the AWWA standards because of joints, outlets or other variations, and as such are designated as “AMERICAN Standard.”
Flex-Ring fittings are boltless and use the Fastite gasket for joint sealing.
Flex-Ring fittings are furnished of only ductile iron. They are normally furnished complete with Fastite plain rubber gaskets and a sufficient supply of Fastite joint lubricant.
Flex-Ring fittings are normally furnished with cement lining in accordance with AWWA C104 and with a standard asphaltic coating on the outside 1. For special conditions, other types of coatings and linings may be available.
1.) 4" – 12" Flex-Ring fittings are provided with zinc-rich primer and top coat on the exterior and are typically an 8-week lead time for delivery.

1.) 4" – 12" bends are available as only bell x bell. Some configurations of the 16" and larger may be available with plain (spigot) ends. Check with AMERICAN for details.
2.) Higher pressure ratings are available on special applications. Pressure ratings may be limited below the values shown by the pressure rating of the pipe to which fitting is attached, or the restrained joint used. Based on performance testing per AWWA C153, AMERICAN can rate 30”-48” C153 bends 350 psi. Consult AMERICAN.
3.) AWWA C153 configurations with lesser weights and dimensions may be furnished in some sizes at Foundry option. Consult AMERICAN.
4.) Smaller sizes are available on special applications. Consult AMERICAN.
5.) 16” Flex-Ring fittings may have greater “T” dimensions than those shown.
6.) AWWA C153 configurations with shorter center-to-socket dimensions, etc., may be furnished in some cases in the 18”-20” size range. Consult AMERICAN if dimensions are critical.
