The Dresser Style 38 is a time-tested bolted sleeve coupling engineered for flexible, leakproof connections on steel pipe across a virtually unlimited size range — from ½? ID up to over 400? OD. With decades of proven field service, it's the go-to choice wherever rigid fittings are impractical or where pipe movement, vibration, or minor misalignment is a factor.

Resilient gaskets absorb vibration and accommodate pipe movement in all directions. Curved pipeline routes can be laid with straight pipe lengths, eliminating the need for costly custom bends. Installation requires only a wrench — no welding, threading, or beveling — making it accessible to standard crews regardless of weather conditions.

Followers are available in cast or ductile iron for standard applications, with malleable iron used on sizes ½? through 1½?. For severe corrosive environments, an all-stainless steel variant (Type 304 or Type 316) is available with matching gasket compounds.
