Available On: December 1, 2025

● Item Introduction
Recommended as a replacement when installing a jumper tube between car bodies with KATO couplers (without hooks), or as a spare for when parts get damaged or lost!
◆ Product Features
Each color version includes 20 of the following: KATO Tight Lock Couplers (with hooks), coupler pockets, and coupler springs.
Compatible products: Products with body-mounted KATO tight lock couplers (long and short)
※ Note that the following products require special attention:
381 series (all-types) → As the jumper tube is located on the end of the body, the position is higher than in typical vehicles, making it different from the jumper tube position of the new inter-body jumper tube. JR Shikoku 2000 series/N2000 series, Chizu Express HOT7000 series → These do not have a jumper pipe (they are equipped with electric connections instead).
Caution: When replacing parts, be careful not to damage the hole in the coupler mounting base (the part that received the claws of the coupler receiver)!
