Gruvlok Figure 7077P Plain End Swaged Reducer
Gruvlok Figure 7077P Plain End Swaged Reducer
The Gruvlok Figure 7077P Plain End Swaged Reducer is a durable industrial piping component designed to provide a compact transition between two different plain-end pipe sizes. Its swaged reducing profile combines efficient pipe-size transition with the convenience of plain-end mechanical joining, making the Figure 7077P an excellent choice for commercial, industrial, mechanical, utility, and water distribution piping systems.
Compact Swaged Pipe Reduction
The Gruvlok Figure 7077P Swaged Reducer features a tapered configuration that transitions from a larger nominal pipe size to a smaller pipe size. Unlike an assembly requiring a separate reducer, nipple, and additional connections, the swaged design incorporates the reduction into one streamlined component.
This compact configuration is especially useful in mechanical rooms, industrial plants, equipment areas, and congested piping installations where minimizing overall fitting length can simplify system design. Reducing the number of individual components can also decrease the number of joints requiring installation and maintenance.
Plain End Mechanical Joining
The Figure 7077P Plain End Swaged Reducer is designed for use with compatible plain-end pipe and properly selected plain-end mechanical couplings and gaskets. The plain-end configuration eliminates the need to groove the fitting ends, providing an efficient joining solution for appropriate plain-end piping systems.
Mechanical connections can simplify installation while providing accessibility for maintenance, component replacement, system modifications, and future piping expansion.
Proper selection should consider nominal pipe sizes, actual outside diameters, operating pressure, system temperature, conveyed media, coupling requirements, gasket compatibility, and applicable piping specifications.
