Gruvlok Grade E EPDM Gasket
Gruvlok® Figure 7000 Flexible Coupling with Grade E EPDM Gasket
The Gruvlok® Figure 7000 Flexible Coupling with Grade E EPDM Gasket is designed to provide a dependable mechanical connection for grooved piping systems in commercial, industrial, and mechanical applications. Combining a flexible grooved coupling design with a durable Grade E EPDM gasket, the Figure 7000 provides reliable sealing while allowing controlled movement at the pipe joint.
The Gruvlok Figure 7000 Flexible Coupling is commonly used where system flexibility, efficient installation, and convenient maintenance are important. When properly designed and installed, the flexible joint can accommodate limited movement, vibration, thermal expansion and contraction, and minor alignment variations within the manufacturer's specified limitations.
Grade E EPDM Gasket for Reliable Sealing
The Grade E gasket is manufactured from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), an elastomer recognized for its resistance to water, heat, oxidation, and aging. Grade E EPDM is suitable for many water-based and compatible chemical services, making it a practical choice for HVAC, fire protection, water distribution, and general industrial piping applications.
EPDM is generally not recommended for petroleum products, hydrocarbon fuels, or mineral oils. Gasket compatibility should always be verified for the specific media, concentration, temperature, and operating conditions.
Flexible Grooved Pipe Connection
The Figure 7000 Flexible Coupling mechanically engages properly prepared pipe grooves to create a secure, serviceable connection. Grooved joining can help simplify installation compared with many traditional welded, threaded, or flanged connections while providing convenient access for piping system maintenance and modifications.
Dependable Gruvlok Coupling Performance
The combination of Gruvlok flexible coupling technology and Grade E EPDM sealing provides an efficient solution for demanding piping systems. For new construction, system expansion, maintenance, or replacement applications, the Gruvlok Figure 7000 Flexible Coupling with Grade E EPDM Gasket delivers reliable sealing, installation efficiency, and controlled joint flexibility for compatible grooved piping systems.
