Dresser Bolted Coupling

Style 138 Coupling
Cast & Ductile Iron Pipe

Wide-range bolted sleeve coupling for plain-end cast iron and ductile iron pipe. One nominal size covers the full OD spread from legacy cast iron through modern DIP.

Sizes 3 in – 12 in
250 PSI Working Pressure
Fusion-Bonded Epoxy ID/OD
NSF 61 & 372 Certified
AWWA C111 Bolting

The Dresser Style 138 is a wide-range bolted sleeve coupling for joining plain-end cast iron (CIP) and ductile iron pipe (DIP) in nominal sizes 3 in through 12 in. Its key advantage is a single coupling per nominal size that covers the full OD range — whether the line in the ground is legacy cast iron or current-production ductile iron, one part number fits the joint.

Style 138 couplings provide flexible, leakproof connections that absorb vibration, accommodate pipe movement, and require no threading, beveling, or precise pipe alignment. Installation is wrench-only.

Wide OD Coverage
One coupling per nominal size fits the full OD spread of cast iron and ductile iron pipe — from older CIP to current DIP production.
CIP & DIP Application
Engineered specifically for plain-end cast and ductile iron pipe in waterworks and utility service.
Tool-Only Installation
No threading, beveling, or pipe alignment required. A wrench is all that’s needed for a leakproof joint.
Flexible Joint
Absorbs vibration and accommodates minor angular deflection and pipe movement at the joint.
