and Industrial Piping Systems

Style 360® Repair Clamps
Style 360 Repair Clamps offer simplicity and ease of installation for the repair of holes,
splits and cracks for permanent repair of A-C, PVC, cast/ductile iron or steel pipe. You can use it
where pipe ends are separated, or where ends are deflected up to 4 degrees or 1/8 inch. Clamp
features include a tapered gasket with a gridded design and the spanner molded into the gasket
to prevent “hang up.” The “360” has a stainless band, lugs of rugged epoxy-coated ductile iron,
special one-inch long nuts for use with a standard deep socket wrench, and bolts of corrosion-
resistant Dresserloy (stainless steel optional).

The Basic Working Principle of Dresser Couplings... Expansion
The Dresser coupling consists of one cylindrical middle ring, two Joints
follower rings, two resilient gaskets of special Dresser compound, Page 17
and a set of steel trackhead bolts. The middle ring has a conical flare
at each end to receive the wedge portion of the gaskets. The follower
Style 131
rings confine the outer ends of the gaskets. As the nuts are tightened,
the bolts draw the follower rings toward each other, compressing the Dismantling
gaskets in the spaces formed by follower rings, middle ring flares and Joint

 Style 38 and 138 Couplings for CIP/DIP
Dresser Style 38 Couplings are also available for cast and ductile iron pipe sizes 2” through

advantages of absolutely tight joints and easier, faster pipe joining. Style 38 couplings also permit
the salvage and use of random lengths of cast-iron pipe from which bell-ends or cracked sections
have been removed.

than ordinary. Style 40 couplings
are similar in construction to Style

 Style 62 Reducing/Transition Couplings
Dresser Style 62 Reducing Couplings
are ideal for (1) when making actual reduc-
tions in pipe size; (2) when changing the
class of pipe; and (3) when joining steel
and cast iron pipe. They can be supplied
for connections between any two kinds or
sizes of pipe.
Type I Reducing Couplings are for
For connecting different
reductions where the differences in pipe
sizes and types of pipe
diameters is small, as from standard cast
iron to steel of the same nominal size. See Style 62 Coupling Dimensions
Standard Style 38 parts are used except on Page 13
the middle ring is swaged on one end.
Type II Reducing Couplings are for larger and special reductions outside the range
of Type I. They are made from Style 38 parts with anchor rings welded to the middle
ring. Two sets of bolts are supplied.

NOTE: Style 39-62 Insulating-Reducing couplings are also

Transition Couplings Available...For joining pipe of different diameters

Dresser Transition Couplings permits you to connect
two different kinds of pipe or sizes of pipe. You simply
select the correct coupling for the different pipe
diameters being joined. The drawings at left illustrate
how gaskets of different cross-sections adjust the
coupling to suit your requirements. Further adjustment
is accomplished with reducing middle-ring couplings.
Please consult factory for size specifications for your
particular requirements.

 Style 31 Line Cap
Dresser Style 31 Line Caps are used to close off sections of a pipeline during construction
and testing, and to cap off dead-ends in the line for future branch connections. Style 31 Line
Caps are made from Style 38 Dresser coupling parts with a convex steel dished head welded
into one end of the middle ring. One follower ring is welded to the cap itself, and only one
gasket is required.
The Style 31 is regularly supplied with a 1” NPT vent and plug off-center. When ordering,
For close-off, testing please specify whether vent is to be provided. The Dresser Style 31 Line Cap is also available in
and capping “dead-ends” an insulating design with insulating gasket, insulating sleeve and and pipe-end separator.
for future branch extensions
WARNING: Style 31 Line Caps must NOT be used under pressure WITHOUT ANCHORAGE OR

 Style 167 Lock Couplings
Provides additional holding strength under unusual service
conditions
Dresser Style 167 Lock Couplings actually “lock” the pipe and the coupling together to pro-
tect the line from pipe separation due to unusual movement. These couplings are for excep-
tional conditions such as ash handling and coal transmission lines, or unanchored
high-pressure surface lines where added holding strength is desired.
Style 167 lock couplings utilize standard Style 38 parts with the addition of leak-proof
For drilled-end pipe locking pins. The locking arrangement consists of threaded steel locking plugs at each end
which extend through the middle ring into corresponding holes drilled in the pipe ends. This
construction permits a “universal joint” action of the pipe in the coupling, yet prevents the pipe
from pulling out under excessive longitudinal stresses.

 Style 131 Dismantling Joint
The Dresser Style 131 Dismantling Joint is a double-ended flanged adapter that
allows for longitudinal adjustment in piping systems where flanged end pipe is the
standard. This product will provide the maximum in flexibility when installing and
maintaining flanged end pipe interfaces with check valves, gate valves, ball valves,
pumps, blowers, meters, engines, compressors, various fittings and appurtenances.
A typical dismantling joint would be used anywhere that a flanged end piping
accessory, such as a valve or pump, requires quick installation or removal. The
product eliminates the need to drop an inlet or discharge pipe leg normally associated
with flanged end pipe. It also allows for up to 2 degrees of misalignment, and can be

 Style 440 Joint Harnesses
Dresser Style 440 Joint Harnesses are steel tie-bolts, diametrically opposite, which
extend across a coupled joint from lugs welded to the pipe on either side of the joint.
Joint harnesses are particularly effective on unanchored bends subject to pulsating
pressures of sharp intensity.
Available as conductive or insulating, Dresser Joint Harnesses have been designed
to meet D.O.T. Regulation Part II, Section 192.273 and meet all safety requirements
of modern gas distribution system practices. Lugs are made of rugged construction
for optimum strength. Insulators are of high-quality thermoplastic resin compound
Provides additional
reinforcement providing minimum insulating rating of 5 megohms at 100V, and will not short out. A
deflection ring placed behind one lug deflects to absorb contraction in connected pipes
of coupled joints
occurring after installation eliminating harmful stresses. Individual harnesses may be
installed in the field as either insulated or conductive by simply interchanging parts.
Each Dresser Style 440 Joint Harness consists of two lugs, one deflection ring, one
stud bolt and two nuts. Harnesses are furnished with either 5/8” or 3/4” stud bolts
in lengths of 26” for 5” middle rings; 32” for 7” middle rings; and 44” for 12” & 16”
middle rings. See selector chart below for pipe diameters and line working pressure.

The Dresser Style 253 Cast Coupling is designed to allow a faster, easier way to join all
your waterworks piping – steel, cast or ductile iron, and PVC – regardless of pipe class or

Each coupling follower is color-coded for the type of pipe it is designed to fit. Matching
gaskets are also imprinted with the correct color, as well as the O. D. range for ease of quick
identification. You’ll always have the right coupling for the job – without carrying a separate
