Wal-rich 0038-0013-013 Dresser Style 38 Coupling with Armored Gaskets

Product Description

The WAL-RICH 0038-0013-013 is a Dresser Style 38 Coupling designed for joining pipe sections in demanding water and gas distribution systems. This coupling is built for trade professionals including plumbers, pipefitters, and utility contractors who need a reliable, pressure-rated mechanical joint for both new installations and repair work. The Style 38 coupling design is a widely recognized standard in the pipeline industry, known for its ability to connect plain-end pipe without threading or welding, making it a fast and practical solution in the field.

This coupling measures 5 inches in overall length and weighs 9 pounds, giving it the solid construction required for high-pressure service. The body is manufactured from carbon steel, which provides the structural strength needed to handle mechanical stress and soil loads in buried or exposed pipeline applications. To protect against corrosion, the coupling features a fusion-bonded epoxy coating on both interior and exterior surfaces. This coating bonds directly to the steel at high temperature, creating a hard, uniform barrier that resists moisture, chemicals, and abrasion far better than standard paint finishes.

The sealing system uses Armored Grade 27 Gaskets, which provide superior sealing performance compared to standard rubber gaskets. The metal armor reinforces the gasket edges, preventing extrusion under pressure and extending service life in both high-pressure and high-temperature environments. This coupling is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1500 PSI as noted in the manufacturer spec sheet, and a maximum temperature of 212 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of water, gas, and industrial pipeline services.

• Carbon steel body with fusion-bonded epoxy coating for corrosion resistance in buried and exposed applications
• Armored Grade 27 Gaskets provide enhanced sealing and resist extrusion at high pressure
• Rated to 1500 PSI maximum pressure and 212 degrees F maximum temperature for demanding service conditions
