EBT Couplers vs. 3/4 size Sharon Couplers
« on: April 05, 2020, 07:29:00 AM »
I have heard that the EBT couplers and the 3/4 size Sharon couplers such as what Irwin Car sells are not compatible.  Is that true?  I am curious as to what the major differences there are between the two. 

Thanks.

Rick,

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have been working with Irwin on a Climax coupler project. I'll send you an email with the contact information of the person at Irwin who would be able to help.
