Gruvlok Figure 7081P Plain End Bevel Adapter
Gruvlok Figure 7081P Plain End Bevel Adapter
The Gruvlok Figure 7081P Plain End Bevel Adapter is a specialized industrial piping component designed to provide an efficient transition between a plain-end mechanical piping system and a beveled-end welded piping connection. Engineered for commercial, mechanical, industrial, utility, and process piping applications, the Figure 7081P allows contractors and engineers to integrate plain-end and welded piping sections within the same system using a compact transition component.
Plain End-to-Beveled Pipe Transition
The Gruvlok Figure 7081P Plain End Bevel Adapter combines a plain-end connection with a beveled pipe end in one convenient fitting. The plain end is designed for use with compatible plain-end piping and an appropriately selected mechanical coupling and gasket. The opposite beveled end provides a weld-ready connection for joining to compatible steel pipe or welded piping components.
This combination can eliminate the need for multiple nipples, adapters, or field-fabricated transition pieces, helping reduce the total number of components and joints in the piping system.
Efficient Mechanical and Welded Installation
The Figure 7081P Plain End Bevel Adapter provides flexibility when connecting two different pipe joining methods. The mechanical plain-end connection can reduce field preparation and simplify future system access, while the beveled end provides a permanent welded connection where required by system design.
Proper selection and installation should consider nominal pipe size, actual outside diameter, pipe wall thickness, operating pressure, temperature, conveyed media, coupling requirements, gasket compatibility, and applicable welding procedures.
