Style 65’s are available in regular and long couplings,
90° Ell, and male and female adapters. Style 65 bodies are made of
either steel or malleable iron; fitting bodies constructed of malleable
iron conform to ANSI specifications for 150 psi rated fittings. The
gasket retainer ring is made of cold-rolled carbon steel.
Dresser Grade 27 Armored

gaskets are supplied as standard,
with Grade 42 Armored oil resistant gaskets available for special
applications on request.
NOTE: Regular Style 65 couplings and fittings should not be used for
temperatures over 150° F. For temperatures above 150° F. and up
to 350° F., Style 165 Plus-Temp™ fittings are recommended. See the
Style 165 data on the Dresser web site under Water Market Products
at: www.dressercouplings.com.
Style 65 Components
(1) Threaded end-nuts screw onto the threaded body
(2), compressing the gaskets (3) against the pipe
(4) to make a flexible, bottle-tight seal. The gaskets
are confined and protected from damage by retainer
rings (5). Note the heavy body construction and ample
seating area of the resilient gasket.

Style 65 Fittings Feature:
• Simple, Fast Installation - Shipped completely assembled and
ready to use, Dresser Style 65 compression fittings install quickly
onto plain-end pipe or tubing. Simply loosen the end nuts, stab the
pipe into the fittings and tighten end nuts with a wrench. The
connection is complete in less than a minute! No threading,
flaring or exact pipe fitting required. Plus, the pipe joint can be
easily disassembled for cleaning or repairs.
• Proven Working Principle - Style 65 compression fittings
employ the same time-proven sealing principle that was
developed by Dresser in 1891.
• Flexible Union - The resilient gasket sealing principle provides
permanent flexibility while absorbing expansion, contraction,
vibration, stresses and deflection movement.
• Creates a Uniform Joint - Threaded pipes rob a pipe end of
40% of its strength. With Dresser Style 65 compression fittings
you can use plain-end pipe and maintain uniform wall thickness
throughout every joint in your piping system.

Insulating Adapter Gaskets are used with Style 65 couplings to insulate
between dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion, or to break current
flow along the pipe. Gasket sleeves are particularly convenient when
connecting steel pipe and copper tubing of the same nominal size.
