shear pin coupling manufacturer from the 1980s 1

One of our arrangement drawings describes a " "DECK" 5 ½ WCP cut out pin coupling ".
Id'm figuring it is a shear pin coupling of some sort.

In service one of the coupling halves can be slid along the driver's shaft, away from the driven unit, so an identical spare hydraulic drive can have it's coupling half slid into engagement.
There is only 3/4 inch separating the shaft ends which limits the types of shear couplings that would fit.
In addition, many shear couplings are self supporting after the pins shear, but not really designed to run with the halves separated without bolting on some kind of stabilizing device (FALK gear coupling come to mind).

Google and I have had no luck finding a "DECK" coupling manufacturer.
The purchasing group has been sent on a quest to resurrect the original contract information. I am hopeful, but pessimistic that 33 year old paper information has survived.

*** Does anyone know who manufactured "DECK" couplings, or how we mangled the spelling of the real manufacturer ?


thanks,

Perfect.

Thanks EdStainless.

I had seen some Sier Bath couplings a time or two long ago.
