Description

Kadee HO #5 Universal Metal Coupler and Insulated Draft Gear box Metal 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 gearbox or insulated #28 coupler.

This industry leading coupler features an all metal standard coupler, and #634 standard centering spring and comes complete with insulated draft gearbox and lid. The NO.5 Magne-Matic Metal Coupler may be mounted with the included #232 Gearbox or with other manufacturers cast-on coupler pockets.

The 148 Whisker Coupler is equivalent to the NO.5 Metal Coupler.

Package Includes:

  • 2 Pair NO.5 Metal Couplers - Medium Centerset Shank
  • 2 Pair #634 Centering Spring NO.5 Style
  • 2 Pair #232 Gearboxes
  • 2 #622 Knuckle Springs

Works With

Note: Some manufacturers now produce models with non-industry standard coupler pockets 'molded-on gearbox'. These shallower coupler pockets may require slight modification to the gearbox or coupler to function properly. If the model has a shallow molded-on gearbox, a #148 Whisker coupler should be used instead of a NO.5 coupler. The top of the #148 Whisker coupler shank may be filed thinner to fit the shallower cast-on coupler pockets.
