Gruvlok Figure 7082 Grooved Bevel Adapter
Gruvlok Figure 7082 Grooved Bevel Adapter
The Gruvlok Figure 7082 Grooved Bevel Adapter is a durable industrial piping component designed to provide an efficient transition between a grooved mechanical piping system and a beveled-end welded piping system. Engineered for commercial, mechanical, industrial, and process piping applications, the Figure 7082 allows two different pipe joining methods to be incorporated into a single system while providing a practical, dependable transition point.
Grooved-to-Beveled Pipe Connection
The Gruvlok Figure 7082 Bevel Adapter combines a grooved connection with a beveled connection in one convenient fitting. The grooved end is designed for installation with compatible grooved pipe using a properly selected Gruvlok grooved coupling and gasket. The opposite beveled end provides a weld-ready connection for joining to compatible steel pipe or other welded piping components.
This combination helps eliminate unnecessary transition fittings and can reduce field fabrication when converting from a grooved pipe connection to a welded pipe connection.
Efficient Industrial Piping Installation
The grooved side of the Figure 7082 Grooved Bevel Adapter provides the installation advantages associated with mechanical grooved piping. No field welding is required at the grooved joint, helping reduce assembly time while providing convenient accessibility for maintenance or future piping modifications.
The beveled end can be welded into the adjoining piping system according to the applicable welding procedures and project specifications.
Proper installation should consider nominal pipe size, pipe wall thickness, operating pressure, system temperature, conveyed media, gasket compatibility, coupling selection, and welding requirements.
