Gruvlok Figure 7050DR Grooved with Drain 90° Elbow
Gruvlok Figure 7050DR Grooved with Drain 90° Elbow
The Gruvlok Figure 7050DR Grooved with Drain 90° Elbow is a specialized grooved pipe fitting designed to provide a 90-degree change in piping direction with an integrated drain connection. Engineered for commercial, industrial, mechanical, and fire protection piping systems, the Figure 7050DR combines the functionality of a standard grooved elbow with a convenient drain outlet, helping simplify system design and reduce the need for additional fittings.
90° Grooved Elbow with Drain Connection
The Gruvlok Figure 7050DR 90° Elbow redirects the main piping run through a 90-degree angle while providing a dedicated connection that can be incorporated into the system for draining or servicing purposes. The drain feature is especially useful where piping must be emptied during maintenance, inspection, winterization, testing, or other system service procedures.
By incorporating the drain connection directly into the elbow, the Figure 7050DR can reduce the need for a separate tee and associated fittings, creating a more compact piping assembly.
Efficient Grooved Mechanical Installation
Grooved ends allow the Figure 7050DR Grooved Drain Elbow to connect to compatible grooved pipe using appropriately selected Gruvlok couplings and gaskets. Mechanical grooved connections eliminate field welding at the elbow connections, helping reduce installation labor and simplify future maintenance.
Proper component selection should consider pipe size, operating pressure, temperature, conveyed media, drain requirements, coupling type, and gasket compatibility.
Commercial and Industrial Applications
Typical applications include:
-
Fire protection and sprinkler piping
-
HVAC and mechanical systems
-
Industrial process piping
-
Water distribution systems
-
Utility and plant piping
-
Systems requiring low-point drainage
Dependable Gruvlok Grooved Drain Elbow
For contractors, engineers, and MRO professionals, the Gruvlok Figure 7050DR Grooved with Drain 90° Elbow provides an efficient solution for combining a directional change and drain connection. Its 90-degree configuration, integrated drain, and grooved-end design help create compact, serviceable, and reliable piping systems.
