Description

Kadee HO #118 SF Shelf Whisker Metal Couplers Medium 9/32" Centerset Shank - 2 Pair

It is not recommended to use a metal coupler directly on a metal surface or in a metal draft gearbox to avoid possible electrical crossover and shorting that may cause damage. Use the provided insulated draft gear box.

The #118 Kadee Magne-Matic Coupler features a Metal Coupler, insulated #242 Draft Gear Box and Lid with center screw holes for mounting. Shelfs actually work. The #118 Coupler may be mounted with supplied #242 draft gear box or with Manufacturers cast-on coupler pockets. Two pair per package Manual uncoupling requires the #241 Dual Tool. The ‘SF’ Shelf Coupler can be easily modified to look like the type 'F' Shelf Coupler or ‘H’ Passenger Car Coupler.

The #118 coupler will work anywhere a NO.5, #28, #38, #58, #118, #119 & #148 Coupler will work.
