Gruvlok Figure 7069P Plain End 45° Lateral
The Gruvlok Figure 7069P Plain End 45° Lateral is a durable industrial pipe fitting designed to create an efficient 45-degree branch connection in plain-end piping systems. Its angled lateral configuration provides an alternative to a conventional 90-degree tee, allowing contractors and engineers to route branch piping at a more gradual angle. The Figure 7069P is well suited for commercial, mechanical, industrial, utility, and water distribution piping applications requiring dependable plain-end mechanical connections.
45° Lateral for Efficient Branch Piping
The Gruvlok Figure 7069P 45° Lateral directs a branch line away from the main piping run at a 45-degree angle. This configuration can provide a smoother directional transition than a standard 90-degree branch and is particularly useful where system geometry requires angled piping.
A purpose-designed lateral can also simplify complex piping arrangements by reducing the need for combinations of tees, elbows, nipples, and other components to achieve the desired branch direction.
Plain End Mechanical Connection Design
The Figure 7069P Plain End Lateral features plain ends designed for use with compatible plain-end pipe and appropriately selected plain-end mechanical couplings and gaskets. Because grooved fitting ends are not required, the plain-end configuration provides an efficient joining method for suitable industrial piping applications.
Mechanical joining can reduce field welding requirements while providing convenient accessibility for system maintenance, modification, component replacement, and future expansion.
Proper component selection should consider nominal pipe size, actual outside diameter, operating pressure, temperature, conveyed media, flow requirements, coupling selection, and gasket compatibility.
