Gruvlok Grade E EPDM Gasket
Gruvlok® Figure 7001 Flexible Coupling with Grade E EPDM Gasket
The Gruvlok® Figure 7001 Flexible Coupling with Grade E EPDM Gasket is engineered to provide a reliable, flexible mechanical connection for compatible grooved piping systems. Designed for commercial, industrial, and mechanical piping applications, the Figure 7001 Flexible Coupling combines dependable grooved coupling performance with a durable Grade E EPDM gasket for secure sealing and efficient installation.
The flexible coupling design permits controlled movement at the pipe joint, helping accommodate limited vibration, thermal expansion and contraction, and minor alignment variations when properly installed within manufacturer specifications. This flexibility makes the Gruvlok Figure 7001 coupling a practical solution for piping systems where a completely rigid connection is not required.
Grade E EPDM Gasket for Dependable Sealing
The Gruvlok Grade E gasket is manufactured from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), a durable elastomer with excellent resistance to water, oxidation, aging, and many compatible chemicals. Grade E EPDM gaskets are commonly used in water distribution, HVAC, fire protection, and general industrial piping systems.
EPDM is generally not recommended for petroleum products, hydrocarbon fuels, or mineral oils. Gasket selection should always be verified for the specific fluid, concentration, operating temperature, and system conditions.
Flexible Grooved Piping Connection
The Gruvlok Figure 7001 Flexible Coupling mechanically engages properly prepared pipe grooves to create a secure and serviceable connection. Grooved mechanical joining can help reduce installation time while simplifying piping inspection, maintenance, system modifications, and component replacement.
Reliable Gruvlok Figure 7001 Performance
Combining flexible grooved coupling technology with Grade E EPDM sealing, the Figure 7001 provides dependable performance across a broad range of compatible piping applications. For new construction, maintenance, repairs, or system expansion, the Gruvlok Figure 7001 Flexible Coupling with Grade E EPDM Gasket offers reliable sealing, controlled flexibility, and the installation efficiency associated with Gruvlok grooved piping systems.
