Gruvlok Figure 7063 Grooved Threaded TEE
Gruvlok Figure 7063 Grooved Threaded TEE
The Gruvlok Figure 7063 Grooved Threaded TEE is a versatile industrial pipe fitting designed to create a 90-degree threaded branch connection from a grooved piping run. By combining grooved run connections with a threaded branch outlet, the Figure 7063 provides an efficient transition between two common piping connection methods. This configuration is well suited for commercial, mechanical, industrial, water distribution, and fire protection piping systems where smaller threaded components must be incorporated into grooved piping.
Grooved Run with Threaded Branch Connection
The Gruvlok Figure 7063 Grooved Threaded TEE features grooved connections along the main run and a threaded outlet positioned at 90 degrees. The grooved ends connect to compatible grooved pipe using appropriately selected Gruvlok grooved couplings and gaskets, while the threaded branch provides a convenient connection for compatible threaded pipe or accessories.
Combining these connection methods into a single tee can eliminate separate adapters and transition fittings. This helps reduce the number of individual components and creates a cleaner, more compact piping arrangement.
Efficient Mechanical Piping Installation
Grooved mechanical joining eliminates field welding at the grooved connections and can help reduce installation time and labor. The Figure 7063 Threaded TEE is particularly useful when installing threaded branch lines, valves, drains, gauges, instruments, or other piping accessories from a grooved main.
Proper component selection should consider nominal pipe size, thread size and type, system pressure, operating temperature, conveyed media, coupling selection, 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 systems
-
Instrument and equipment connections
