Gruvlok Grade T Nitrile Gasket
Gruvlok® Figure 7400 Rigidlite Rigid Coupling with Grade "T" Nitrile Gasket
The Gruvlok® Figure 7400 Rigidlite Rigid Coupling with Grade "T" Nitrile Gasket is a premium mechanical grooved coupling engineered to provide a rigid, locked-in pipe connection for demanding petroleum and industrial piping systems. Featuring Gruvlok's lightweight yet rugged housing, the Figure 7400 combines the strength of a rigid mechanical joint with the efficiency of fast swing-over installation. This coupling is ideal for oil and gas production, petroleum processing, hydraulic systems, mining operations, industrial manufacturing, compressor stations, and process piping where pipe movement must be minimized while maintaining dependable sealing performance.
When equipped with the Grade "T" Nitrile gasket, the Figure 7400 delivers outstanding resistance to petroleum-based fluids and oil-laden environments, making it a reliable choice for severe industrial applications requiring long-term durability and leak-resistant performance.
Lightweight Rigid Joint Technology
Secure Locked-In Pipe Connections
The Gruvlok® Figure 7400 features a lightweight ductile iron housing designed to create a rigid mechanical connection that firmly locks grooved pipe ends together. Its convenient swing-over installation design allows contractors to quickly position the coupling over the pipe grooves before tightening the hardware, significantly reducing installation time compared to welded or threaded joints.
The rigid connection prevents axial movement and maintains precise pipe alignment, making the Figure 7400 well suited for installations where system stability is critical.
Grade "T" Nitrile Gasket
Engineered for Petroleum Applications
The Grade "T" Nitrile (Buna-N) gasket, identified by its orange color code, is manufactured in accordance with ASTM D2000 and provides a service temperature range of -20°F to 180°F (-29°C to 82°C). It is specifically recommended for petroleum products, mineral oils, vegetable oils, hydraulic fluids, lubricating oils, fuels, and compressed air containing oil vapors.
The Grade "T" gasket provides exceptional resistance to petroleum-based media while maintaining dependable sealing performance in demanding industrial environments. It is not approved for drinking water service and is not recommended for hot water or hot air applications, where EPDM or another compatible gasket material should be selected.
