Gruvlok Figure 7010 Reducing Coupling
Gruvlok® Figure 7010 Reducing Coupling
The Gruvlok® Figure 7010 Reducing Coupling is an innovative mechanical grooved coupling engineered to directly connect two different pipe sizes in a single fitting. By eliminating the need for two separate couplings and an additional reducing fitting, the Figure 7010 simplifies piping layouts, reduces installation time, minimizes inventory requirements, and lowers overall project costs. Designed for commercial and industrial piping systems, this coupling is ideal for HVAC systems, water treatment facilities, plumbing, industrial process piping, manufacturing plants, mining operations, fire protection systems, and municipal water distribution. The Figure 7010 supports working pressure ratings up to 500 PSI (34.5 bar), depending on pipe size and wall thickness, and is not recommended for vacuum applications.
Its compact design makes it an excellent solution wherever piping transitions between different diameters are required while maintaining a dependable mechanical connection.
Efficient Pipe Size Transitions
Eliminate Extra Fittings and Reduce Installation Time
The Gruvlok® Figure 7010 allows installers to directly connect two different pipe diameters without using multiple couplings or separate reducing fittings. This streamlined design reduces the number of system components, minimizes potential leak points, and simplifies future maintenance while lowering labor and material costs.
Compatible with standard roll-grooved and cut-grooved steel pipe, the Figure 7010 installs quickly without welding, threading, or flanging, making it a highly efficient mechanical piping solution.
Advanced Gasket Design
Center Rib Prevents Pipe Telescoping
A key feature of the Figure 7010 is its specially engineered reducing coupling gasket with an integral center rib. This unique design accurately positions the gasket during installation while preventing the smaller pipe from telescoping into the larger pipe during assembly. The result is improved alignment, dependable sealing performance, and long-term joint reliability under demanding operating conditions.
Ideal for Commercial and Industrial Applications
Reliable Performance Across Multiple Industries
The Gruvlok® Figure 7010 Reducing Coupling is widely used in commercial buildings, industrial processing plants, HVAC systems, mining operations, municipal infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, water distribution systems, and mechanical equipment installations where pipe size transitions are required without sacrificing strength or reliability.
