Gruvlok Figure 7056 Grooved Thread 45° Elbow

Gruvlok Figure 7056 Grooved Thread 45° Elbow

The Gruvlok Figure 7056 Grooved Thread 45° Elbow is a versatile industrial pipe fitting designed to provide a 45-degree change in direction while transitioning between grooved and threaded piping connections. Engineered for commercial, mechanical, industrial, and fire protection piping systems, the Figure 7056 combines a directional elbow and connection adapter into one convenient component. This design can simplify piping layouts, reduce the number of fittings required, and support efficient field installation.

Grooved-to-Threaded 45° Pipe Connection

The Gruvlok Figure 7056 Grooved Threaded 45° Elbow is ideal where a grooved piping run must change direction and connect with compatible threaded pipe, valves, equipment, or accessories. Its 45-degree configuration provides a more gradual directional transition than a 90-degree elbow and is useful for creating offsets or routing pipe around equipment and structural obstructions.

The grooved connection is installed using an appropriately selected Gruvlok grooved coupling and gasket, while the threaded connection accommodates a compatible threaded piping component.

Efficient Mechanical Grooved Installation

By combining the 45-degree elbow and grooved-to-threaded transition into a single fitting, the Figure 7056 can eliminate the need for separate elbows, adapters, and additional connections. Fewer components can result in a cleaner piping arrangement and more efficient installation.

Grooved mechanical joining eliminates field welding at the grooved connection and can simplify maintenance and future modifications. Proper selection should consider pipe size, thread requirements, pressure, operating temperature, conveyed media, coupling type, and gasket compatibility.

Commercial and Industrial Applications

Typical applications include:

• Fire protection and sprinkler systems

• HVAC and mechanical piping

• Industrial process systems

• Water distribution piping

• Utility and plant piping

• Equipment and valve connections
