Kadee #25 20-Series Coupler Short (1/4") Overset Shank
The 20-Series Kadee® Magne-Matic® Couplers are designed for either Talgo (truck) or body mounting.
The #25 Kadee® Magne-Matic® Coupler features a very strong plastic isolated coupler, #634 Centering Spring, (same gear box as the NO.5® Coupler), insulated #234 Draft Gear Box and Lid with side and center screw holes for mounting and the (20-Series draft gear box) insulated #213 Universal Adaptor Plate.
The #25 Coupler easily installs in existing Talgo-mounted draft gear boxes with supplied #212 Talgo Truck Adaptors or can be body mounted with supplied #234 draft gear box (NO.5® Draft Gear Box) with side and center screw holes for mounting or with the supplied #213 Universal Adaptor Plate (20-Series draft gear box).
Note: The 20-Series assembly may be mounted from the top or mounted from the bottom but the #634 Centering Spring must be always mounted on top of coupler shank.
