Grooved pipe fitting are one of the most versatile, economical and reliable fittings available for grooved pipe connection systems.

Grooved fittings consist of grooved fittings, grooved fittings, grooved outlets, grooved valves, and grooved replacements. Typical applications for grooved fittings are in sprinkler risers, pipe feeds from one building area to another, locations prone to earthquakes, discharge lines above pump intakes, air or water fire service lines, piping systems subject to excessive vibration, and installations in tight spaces or where pipe alignment is difficult.

A grooved pipe fitting consists of four elements

1. grooved pipe

2. sealing gasket

3. coupling housing

4. nuts and bolts.

The pipe grooves can be cold formed or machine formed. The gasket contained in the coupling housing is wrapped around the end of the two pipes and the critical part of the coupling housing is joined to the groove. The coupling bolts and nuts are tightened with a socket wrench or impact wrench. In the installed state, the mechanical coupling housing encases the gasket and engages the groove in the circumference of the pipe, creating a leak-free seal in the self-contained coupling.
