Grooved fittings are pipe fittings that feature a grooved design, which allows for quick and easy installation using mechanical couplings. These fittings are made from various materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, offering a versatile range of applications. The primary benefit of grooved fittings is their speed of installation—no welding or threading is required. They are often used in fire protection systems, industrial piping, and HVAC installations, particularly in environments that demand quick, easy, and reliable connections. Grooved fittings also provide high flexibility and are excellent for systems that require frequent maintenance and upgrades.
