Subject: Flexible Couplings

Help! can someone point me in the right direction?
I am currently designing a Vertical Turbine fire pump, this is going to set
in a 42" dia. x 16' deep FRP wet well, this is being supplied from a 15,000
gallon buried FRP tank. The tank mfg calls for a flexible coupling at the
point the underground piping connects to both the wet well and the tank. I
am assuming (yea I know) that they don't mean groove flexible couplings. I
remember using some corrugated flex couplings on a similar wet well
situation on one of my first jobs (about 30 years ago) but I can't seem to
find anything like that now. I don't want to use the Metraflex because of
the friction loss. The wet well is gravity fed through 50' +/- 6" DI cl 52.
