Description

Kadee HO #158 'Scale' Whisker Metal Couplers with Draft Gear boxes 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. 

This industry leading coupler features an all metal coupler head, shank, and Whisker centering spring and comes complete with insulated draft gearbox and lid. The #158 Magne-Matic ‘Scale’ Whisker Metal Coupler may be mounted with the included #242 Snap-Together Gearbox or with other manufacturers cast-on coupler pockets.

The #158 ‘Scale’ Whisker Metal Coupler will work anywhere a #58 Coupler will work.

Package Includes:

(2) Pair #158 ‘Scale’ Whisker Metal Couplers - Medium Centerset Shank

(2) Pair #242 Snap-Together Gearboxes

(2) #625 Knuckle Springs
