Gruvlok Figure 7079 Grooved Bevel Swaged Reducer
Gruvlok Figure 7079 Grooved Bevel Swaged Reducer
The Gruvlok Figure 7079 Grooved Bevel Swaged Reducer is a specialized industrial piping component designed to provide an efficient pipe-size reduction while transitioning between grooved and beveled-end piping connections. Its compact swaged configuration combines reducing and connection-transition functions into one component, making the Figure 7079 an effective choice for commercial, mechanical, industrial, and process piping systems where grooved piping must connect to a smaller welded piping section.
Grooved-to-Beveled Swaged Reducing Design
The Gruvlok Figure 7079 Swaged Reducer features a tapered profile that transitions from a larger connection to a smaller pipe size. The grooved end connects to compatible grooved piping, while the beveled end provides a weld-ready connection for integration with compatible welded pipe.
Combining these functions can eliminate the need for a separate reducer, nipple, and transition adapter. Fewer individual components can create a more compact piping assembly, reduce the number of connections, and simplify material requirements.
Efficient Grooved and Welded Pipe Transition
The grooved connection of the Figure 7079 Grooved Bevel Swaged Reducer is designed for installation using an appropriately selected Gruvlok grooved coupling and gasket. Mechanical grooved joining eliminates field welding at the grooved joint, while the beveled end accommodates an approved welded connection.
Proper selection and installation should consider nominal pipe sizes, pipe wall thickness, operating pressure, system temperature, conveyed media, coupling type, gasket compatibility, and applicable welding procedures.
