Gruvlok Figure 7051LR Grooved Long Radius 45° Elbow
The Gruvlok Figure 7051LR Grooved Long Radius 45° Elbow is a durable grooved pipe fitting designed to provide a smooth 45-degree change in piping direction. Its long-radius configuration creates a more gradual directional transition than a standard-radius elbow, making it an excellent choice for commercial, industrial, and mechanical piping systems where efficient flow and dependable grooved connections are important.
Long Radius 45° Design for Smoother Flow
The Gruvlok Figure 7051LR Long Radius 45° Elbow uses an extended-radius bend to redirect the piping system through 45 degrees. The gradual bend can help minimize turbulence and flow disruption compared with tighter directional changes, making long-radius elbows particularly valuable where efficient movement of the conveyed media is a design consideration.
The fitting can also be used to create piping offsets, accommodate equipment locations, and route piping around structural obstacles while maintaining an efficient system layout.
Efficient Grooved Mechanical Connections
The Figure 7051LR Grooved 45° Elbow features grooved ends for connection to compatible grooved pipe using appropriately selected Gruvlok couplings and gaskets. Mechanical grooved joining eliminates the need for field welding at the fitting connections, helping reduce installation time and labor.
Grooved connections also provide serviceability for maintenance, system modifications, and future expansion. Proper coupling and gasket selection should consider pipe size, operating pressure, temperature, conveyed media, and application requirements.
Commercial and Industrial Applications
The Gruvlok Figure 7051LR is suitable for piping applications including:
-
HVAC and mechanical piping
