  • Heavy-Duty Rigid Grooved Coupling | UL/FM | Ductile Iron (ASTM A536) | EPDM/NBR | DN25–DN300 (1″–12″)
    Heavy-Duty Rigid Grooved Coupling | UL/FM | Ductile Iron (ASTM A536) | EPDM/NBR | DN25–DN300 (1″–12″)
    Brief:
    "Built for fixed-alignment joints in grooved piping, this heavy-duty rigid coupling locks pipe ends to eliminate axial and angular movement—ideal for fire protection, HVAC, and industrial services where “zero deflection” is required. The housing is high-strength ductile iron (ASTM A536) with corrosion-resistant coating; the pressure-responsive gasket (EPDM standard, NBR optional) seals against the pipe OD for fast, leak-tight installation. Rigid joints also simplify hanger spacing in line with common piping codes.

    Designed to meet groove dimensions per AWWA C606 and interoperate with standard roll-/cut-grooved steel pipe and grooved fittings/valves. Typical working pressures for standard rigid series are in the hundreds of psi depending on size and wall thickness; high-pressure “HP” series reach up to 1000 psi (size-dependent)—check the data sheet for your diameter and service. UL Listed / FM Approved options are available for fire sprinkler mains, risers, and mechanical rooms."

Grooved Couplings and Fittings for Reliable Pipe Connections

Discover a superior method for joining pipe systems with our comprehensive selection of high-quality grooved couplings and fittings. Engineered for speed, safety, and long-term reliability, the grooved pipe connection system is the modern, flame-free solution for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and fire protection applications. Move beyond traditional welding and flanging to a system that offers unparalleled efficiency and durability.


Core Components of the Grooved System

The ingenuity of the grooved pipe connection lies in its simple yet robust design, consisting of three primary elements working in unison to create a secure, leak-tight seal.

> The Grooved Pipe: A groove is cold-formed or machined into the pipe end. This groove provides a seat for the coupling to engage, creating a unified and strong joint.

> The Gasket: A resilient, pressure-responsive elastomeric gasket creates the seal. It is designed to fit over the two pipe ends, creating an initial seal that is strengthened as the system is pressurized. Gaskets are available in various materials like EPDM, Nitrile, and Silicone to suit different applications, from potable water to petroleum oils.

> The Coupling Housing: Manufactured from high-strength ductile iron, the housing segments encase the gasket and lock into the grooves on both pipes. As the nuts and bolts are tightened, the housing compresses the gasket, securing the joint and completing the connection.


Advantages of a Grooved Pipe Connection

Choosing a grooved system offers significant advantages in performance, safety, and total installed cost.

> Rapid & Safe Installation: The primary advantage of a grooved coupling is the speed of assembly. It is significantly faster than welding, threading, or flanging, drastically reducing labor hours and costs. As a flame-free method, it enhances job site safety, particularly in enclosed spaces or during system modifications.

> Exceptional Reliability & Durability: Our fittings are engineered for a service life of up to 50 years. Constructed from high-strength ductile iron that meets ASTM A536 standards, these components offer superior strength.
