Gruvlok Figure 7071P Plain End 90° True WYE
The Gruvlok Figure 7071P Plain End 90° True WYE is a heavy-duty industrial pipe fitting designed to provide an efficient branching or combining connection in plain-end piping systems. Featuring a true wye configuration, the Figure 7071P provides a specialized flow path for commercial, mechanical, industrial, utility, and water distribution piping installations. Its plain-end construction makes it suitable for compatible mechanical joining systems where grooved fitting ends are not required.
True WYE Design for Efficient Flow Distribution
The Gruvlok Figure 7071P Plain End True WYE is engineered to divide a piping run into multiple flow paths or combine flows into a common line, depending on the piping system design and intended direction of service. Its true wye geometry provides an alternative to conventional tee arrangements when system layout requires a specialized branch configuration.
Using a manufactured True WYE can reduce the need to construct complex branch arrangements from multiple tees, elbows, nipples, and other fittings. Fewer components can create a cleaner, more compact piping installation with fewer individual joints.
Plain End Mechanical Piping Connections
The Figure 7071P Plain End WYE features plain ends designed for connection to compatible plain-end pipe using properly selected plain-end mechanical couplings and gaskets. This joining method can eliminate field welding at the mechanical connections and reduce pipe-end preparation requirements associated with grooved fittings.
Proper component selection should consider nominal pipe size, actual pipe outside diameter, operating pressure, temperature, conveyed media, flow requirements, coupling selection, and gasket compatibility.
