Gruvlok Figure 7086 Grooved Hose Barb Adapter

The Gruvlok Figure 7086 Grooved Hose Barb Adapter is a versatile industrial piping component designed to provide a convenient transition between a grooved piping system and a compatible hose connection. Combining a grooved connection with a hose barb end, the Figure 7086 allows flexible hose to be incorporated into commercial, mechanical, industrial, and utility piping systems. Its combination design can reduce the need for multiple transition fittings while creating a compact and practical connection point.

Grooved-to-Hose Barb Connection

The Gruvlok Figure 7086 Hose Barb Adapter features a grooved end for integration into compatible grooved piping and a barbed end designed to accept appropriately sized flexible hose. The grooved connection is assembled using a properly selected Gruvlok grooved coupling and gasket, while the hose barb provides a gripping surface for the hose connection.

When installed with the appropriate hose and securing method specified for the application, the barb configuration helps create a dependable connection while allowing flexible hose to transition from rigid grooved piping.

Efficient Industrial Piping Installation

The Figure 7086 Grooved Hose Barb Adapter can simplify piping assemblies by combining two connection styles into one component. Mechanical grooved joining eliminates field welding at the grooved connection, potentially reducing installation labor and providing convenient accessibility for maintenance or system modification.

Proper component selection should consider nominal pipe size, hose size, hose material, operating pressure, temperature, conveyed media, coupling type, gasket compatibility, and hose connection requirements.

Commercial and Industrial Applications

Typical applications include:

• Industrial process systems

• Water and utility piping

• Mechanical piping systems

• Equipment connections

• Maintenance and service lines

• Flexible hose transitions
