Wal-rich 0038-9051-013 Dresser Style 38 Armored Coupling

Product Description

The WAL-RICH 0038-9051-013 is a Dresser Style 38 pipe coupling designed for joining and repairing steel pipe in water, wastewater, and industrial piping systems. Built from carbon steel with a fusion-bonded epoxy coating, this coupling provides corrosion resistance suitable for buried and exposed service. It features Armored Grade 27 gaskets for a secure, pressure-rated seal. Rated to 1205 psi maximum working pressure and 212 degrees F maximum temperature, this coupling is engineered to handle demanding service conditions. At 5 inches overall length and 23.5 pounds, it is sized for heavy-duty pipeline work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This coupling is intended for use in municipal water distribution, industrial process piping, and commercial plumbing systems where a mechanical, sleeve-style pipe joint is required. The Style 38 design is a widely recognized configuration for joining plain-end steel pipe without welding or threading. It is appropriate for both new construction and repair-in-place service. Grade 27 armored gaskets provide added mechanical protection in applications where the gasket may be exposed to abrasive or high-stress conditions.
