Gruvlok Figure 7065 Grooved Standpipe TEE
The Gruvlok Figure 7065 Grooved Standpipe TEE is a heavy-duty grooved pipe fitting engineered for reliable branch connections in standpipe, fire protection, commercial, and industrial piping systems. Designed to provide an efficient 90-degree branch from a main piping run, the Figure 7065 combines rugged construction with the installation advantages of mechanical grooved piping. It is an effective choice for contractors and engineers who need dependable, serviceable connections in demanding piping installations.
Grooved TEE Designed for Standpipe Systems
The Gruvlok Figure 7065 Standpipe TEE provides a convenient method for incorporating a branch connection into a grooved standpipe system. Its tee configuration allows the main piping run to continue while providing a 90-degree outlet for connecting branch piping or other compatible system components.
The grooved connections are designed for use with properly prepared grooved pipe and appropriately selected Gruvlok grooved couplings and gaskets. This mechanical joining method eliminates field welding at the grooved connections and can help reduce installation time and labor.
Efficient Installation and Maintenance
The Figure 7065 Grooved Standpipe TEE supports efficient piping assembly while providing accessibility for future inspection, maintenance, modification, or system expansion. Mechanical grooved connections can be disassembled when the system is properly shut down and depressurized, providing additional flexibility compared with permanently welded joints.
Component selection should consider nominal pipe size, system pressure, operating temperature, service conditions, coupling type, gasket compatibility, and applicable installation requirements.
Fire Protection and Commercial Applications
Typical applications include:
-
Fire protection standpipe systems
-
Automatic sprinkler piping
-
Commercial building piping
-
Mechanical piping systems
-
Water distribution systems
-
Industrial facility piping
