Does anyone have information or links where I can find fittings (Flanges, couplings, etc.) to connect existing asbestos cement piping (ASTM C-296) with new HDPE piping? ASTM C-296 does not specify fittings or appropriate standard for fittings.

Thanks in advance.
 
Also try JCM, Romac and Smith Blair. All make mechanical fittings for use on HDPE.

Depending on the circumstances you may need to install a thrust anchor on the HDPE to prevent it from pulling out of your connection. I imagine you will probably find a repair sleeve will work well - but it is not restrained!

Good luck.
