Brief: The Threaded Reducing Cross is a multifunctional pipe fitting designed to connect four pipelines at a single junction, while accommodating different connection methods and pipe sizes. Unlike a fully grooved reducing cross, this fitting combines threaded connections on one axis with grooved connections on the other, offering exceptional flexibility in pipeline layout and system design. It enables multi-directional flow distribution and is widely used in complex piping systems across various industries.
Brief: The Threaded Grooved Reducing Tee is designed to create a reduced threaded branch outlet from a grooved main pipeline. It enables efficient branching where the outlet size is smaller than the main pipe, making it especially suitable for systems that commonly use threaded connections on small-diameter branch lines. This fitting combines the advantages of grooved installation speed and threaded connection compatibility, offering a practical and reliable solution for complex piping networks.
Brief: The 11.5 Degree Grooved Elbow is a precision-engineered pipe fitting designed to provide a very slight change in pipeline direction in grooved piping systems. Compared with 22.5°, 45°, and 90° elbows, the 11.5° elbow allows for fine alignment and gradual direction correction, helping installers achieve accurate routing while minimizing flow resistance and system stress. It is widely used in fire protection, HVAC, and industrial piping systems where precision and smooth flow transition are required.
Brief: The 22.5° Grooved Elbow provides a smooth change in direction for grooved-end piping systems while maintaining full flow. Manufactured from ductile iron (ASTM A536) with corrosion-resistant coating, it mates with roll-grooved or cut-grooved steel pipe and installs quickly using standard grooved couplings.
Brief: The Heavy-Duty Flexible Grooved Coupling joins grooved-end steel pipe while allowing controlled angular deflection, axial movement, and vibration attenuation—ideal for lines subject to thermal expansion/contraction, pumps and equipment tie-ins, and seismic or settlement considerations. Compared with rigid couplings, the flexible design helps relieve stress concentrations and reduce noise.
Construction & Materials • High-strength ductile iron housing (ASTM A536) with corrosion-resistant finish (orange paint or hot-dip galvanized). • Pressure-responsive gasket: EPDM (water/air), NBR (oils/fuels) available. • Zinc-plated track-head bolts and heavy-duty nuts for reliable clamp load.
Standards & Compatibility • Groove dimensions per AWWA C606; works with standard roll-grooved or cut-grooved pipe, and with grooved fittings/valves. • UL Listed / FM Approved options suitable for fire sprinkler systems; also widely used in HVAC and industrial water services.
Typical Applications Fire mains & risers, chilled water/HVAC loops, pump connections, long straight runs that require expansion compensation, and vibration-prone lines in industrial plants. ferguson.com
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."
Brief: The XGQT03S Threaded Mechanical Tee creates a fast, reliable branch connection on steel pipe without welding. Designed for Schedule 10, Schedule 40 and GB/T 3091 pipe, it delivers a pressure-responsive seal around a hole-cut opening and provides a female threaded outlet (NPT or BSPT) for sprinklers, valves, gauges, or instruments.
Brief: Our shouldered couplings are specially designed for high-pressure piping systems using shouldered-end steel pipes. Made of durable ductile iron and equipped with high-quality EPDM or NBR gaskets, they ensure a reliable, leak-free connection even in demanding environments such as mining, tunneling, and water infrastructure projects. Easy to install and remove, they are ideal for quick assembly, system maintenance, and long-term performance.
Brief: Grooved rigid couplings are mechanical pipe connectors designed to create a fixed and non-flexible joint in grooved piping systems. They are specifically used in applications where pipe alignment, rigidity, and system stability are required. By mechanically locking into the pipe grooves, rigid couplings provide a joint performance comparable to flanged or welded connections, while maintaining the advantages of fast installation and easy maintenance.
Brief: The BSP black hex nipple is a malleable iron threaded pipe fitting designed to connect two female-threaded pipes or fittings of the same nominal size. Featuring male threads on both ends and a hexagonal section in the middle, it allows easy installation and removal using standard wrenches. This fitting is widely used in water, oil, gas, and petrochemical piping systems, where reliable, high-strength threaded connections are required.
Brief: An M&F socket (male × female socket) is a threaded malleable iron pipe fitting designed to connect a male-threaded pipe to a female-threaded pipe or component within a piping system. By combining internal and external threads in one fitting, it provides a compact and reliable connection solution. M&F sockets are widely used in water supply, fire protection, gas, HVAC, and general industrial piping systems.
