Connecting 14" SCH 10 Steel to 14" HDPE SDR 11 Pipe

Connecting 14" SCH 10 Steel to 14" HDPE SDR 11 Pipe

(OP)
I am replacing a watermain and I need to connect the new 14" HDPE SDR 11 to the existing 14" SCH 10 Steel pipe going into a pumphouse.  Currently the main is connected to the pumphouse piping with a 14" Dresser coupling (outside the pumphouse, below grade).  I was thinking either a flanged connection or a coupling of some sort.  Any suggestions?

RE: Connecting 14" SCH 10 Steel to 14" HDPE SDR 11 Pipe

Why don't you just reuse the dresser coupling? Weld a flange onto the HDPE and then connect it to the dresser coupling with a pipe spool with one end of the spool being flanged.
