Gruvlok Figure 7055 Grooved Thread 90° Elbow
Gruvlok Figure 7055 Grooved Thread 90° Elbow
The Gruvlok Figure 7055 Grooved Thread 90° Elbow is a versatile industrial pipe fitting designed to provide a 90-degree change in piping direction while transitioning from a grooved connection to a threaded connection. Engineered for commercial, mechanical, industrial, and fire protection piping systems, the Figure 7055 combines two important functions into one compact fitting, helping simplify installation and reduce the number of components required in a piping assembly.
Grooved-to-Threaded 90° Pipe Connection
The Gruvlok Figure 7055 Grooved Threaded 90° Elbow is ideal for applications where a grooved main or branch line must turn 90 degrees and connect to compatible threaded piping, valves, equipment, or accessories. The grooved end is installed using an appropriately selected Gruvlok grooved coupling and gasket, while the threaded end provides a convenient connection to a compatible threaded component.
Combining a directional fitting and transition adapter can eliminate the need for a separate elbow and adapter, resulting in a cleaner, more compact piping layout.
Efficient Mechanical Installation
The grooved connection on the Figure 7055 90° Elbow offers the installation advantages associated with mechanical grooved piping. Field welding is not required at the grooved joint, helping contractors reduce installation time and simplify system assembly.
Proper fitting selection should consider nominal pipe size, thread size and type, system pressure, operating temperature, conveyed media, coupling requirements, and gasket compatibility. Installation should follow applicable Gruvlok recommendations and project specifications.
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
-
Valve and equipment connections
