A coupler assembly kit and methods of use are described. Embodiments of the coupler assembly kit can be implemented to couple a corrugated pipe to a concrete section. Generally, the assembly kit can be implemented to couple a spigot end of the corrugated pipe to a bell end of the concrete section. In one embodiment, the coupler assembly kit can include a circumferential cable, a plurality of second cables having a threaded rod on end and an eye bolt on the other end, a plurality of linkage crosses, and a gasket. The coupler assembly kit can be assembled and implemented on location to connect a high-density polyethylene corrugated pipe to a reinforced-concrete flared end section.
