Wal-rich 0038-0006-011 Dresser Style 38 Coupling with Plain Gaskets 1-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The WAL-RICH 0038-0006-011 is a Dresser Style 38 coupling designed for 1-1/2 inch pipe connections in water and gas distribution systems. This coupling is a go-to solution for plumbers, pipefitters, and utility contractors who need a reliable mechanical pipe joint without welding or threading. It connects plain-end pipe sections quickly and securely, making it ideal for repairs, extensions, and new installations in pressurized line applications.

The coupling measures 5 inches in overall length and is constructed from carbon steel, giving it the structural strength needed to handle demanding field conditions. A fusion-bonded epoxy coating is applied to the exterior, providing corrosion resistance that extends service life in underground and buried pipe environments. This coating also helps protect against soil-side corrosion, which is a common concern in municipal water and gas distribution work.

Sealing is handled by Plain Grade 27 gaskets, which compress around the pipe when the coupling is tightened. These gaskets create a pressure-tight seal suitable for a wide range of pipe materials including steel, ductile iron, and cast iron. The coupling is rated for up to 1500 PSI maximum working pressure, per the manufacturer specification sheet, and can handle operating temperatures up to 212 degrees F. These ratings make it appropriate for high-pressure water mains, gas lines, and industrial piping systems where both pressure and temperature tolerances are critical factors.

Trade professionals rely on Dresser-style couplings because they accommodate slight pipe misalignment and allow for angular deflection during installation. The Style 38 design is a standard in the industry, recognized for consistent performance across a broad range of pipe sizes and materials. This WAL-RICH unit weighs 4.2 pounds and ships ready for field installation.

• Carbon steel body with fusion-bonded epoxy coating for corrosion resistance in buried and exposed installations
