The #153 Coupler may be mounted with the supplied #242 draft gear box or with the manufactures cast-on coupler pockets. The coupler will couple and uncouple with other Kadee HO and HOn3 couplers. The coupler has the same shank length as the #23, #33 or #43 coupler which will allow the modeler to remove the existing #23, #33 or #43 coupler and replace with the new smaller coupler. The #153 coupler is made of the same metal as the #43 for strength and rigidity. It is not recommended to use a metal coupler directly on a metal surface or in a metal draft gear box to avoid the possible electrical crossover or shorting that may cause damage. Use the provided insulated draft gear box. The #153 package contains two pairs of the new coupler, two pairs of the #242 gearboxes, and instructions\u003cbr\u003e2 Pairs per Package\u003cbr\u003eShort (1\/4\") Centerset Shank \"Scale\" Head Metal \"WHISKER\" Couplers\u003cbr\u003eMetal Knuckle \"WHISKER\" Self-centering Springs\u003cbr\u003eSnap-together Insulated Draft Gear Boxes and Lids\u003cbr\u003e\"Drop-in\" Design\u003cbr\u003eFor Standard Height Mounting Platforms","brand":"Kadee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130229723218,"sku":"KAD-153","price":7.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/KAD-153-2__78160.jpg?v=1756153564","url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/kadee-ho-153-scale-all-metal-self-centering-whisker-coupler-short-1-4-centerset-shank-2-pair","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
