Walrich 2801320 Dresser Coupling 4 Inch Ips Style 38

Product Description

The WALRICH 2801320 is a Style 38 dresser coupling designed for joining 4-inch IPS pipe in water distribution and plumbing systems. This plain gasket coupling provides a reliable mechanical connection between pipe sections without requiring welding or threading. It is suited for repairs, extensions, and new installations where a watertight slip-style connection is needed. Licensed plumbers and water system contractors are the primary installers. The plain gasket design accommodates standard IPS pipe ODs and delivers consistent sealing performance in buried or above-grade water service applications.

This coupling is used in residential and commercial water service lines, municipal distribution systems, and industrial water piping. The Style 38 configuration is a widely recognized dresser-type coupling format applied to 4-inch IPS pipe. Typical scenarios include pipe repair in tight trenches, service line extensions, and connecting dissimilar pipe ends of matching OD. It is appropriate for cold water service lines where a plain gasket seal meets the system pressure requirements.
