The Kadee 816 pairs Original Style Head medium centerset metal couplers with plastic gearboxes in black for O Scale equipment. Each 816 coupler uses a medium 47/64" shank, measured from the knuckle pulling face to the center hole of the draft gearbox, along with the #850 O Scale centering spring and #845 O Scale knuckle spring for smooth Magne-Matic knuckle operation. It mounts in place of the #740, #745, #800, #801, #805, and #816 O Scale medium centerset shank couplers and is compatible with all Kadee O Scale couplers. Kadee notes that a metal coupler should not run directly on a metal surface or in a metal gearbox to avoid electrical crossover and shorting.

Each 816 package includes one pair: two Original Style metal couplers with medium centerset shanks, two #817 plastic gearboxes and lids, and three #850 O Scale centering springs. The metal couplers can also be mounted in the #818 metal or #819 extended metal gearboxes (sold separately). The #817 plastic gearboxes measure 25/32"L x 1/2"W x 7/32"H, with a listed 25/32" mounting height, 1 1/16" centerline, and 1/16" trip pin height. Made in the U.S.A.
