Gruvlok Figure 7087 Grooved Female Thread Adapter
Gruvlok Figure 7087 Grooved Female Thread Adapter
The Gruvlok Figure 7087 Grooved Female Thread Adapter is a versatile piping component designed to provide an efficient transition between a grooved piping system and a female threaded connection. Engineered for commercial, industrial, mechanical, and fire protection piping applications, the Figure 7087 allows threaded pipe, equipment, valves, and accessories to be incorporated into a grooved mechanical piping system without requiring a complicated combination of transition fittings.
Grooved-to-Female Threaded Connection
The Gruvlok Figure 7087 Female Thread Adapter combines a grooved connection on one end with an internal female pipe thread on the other. The grooved end connects to compatible grooved pipe or components using a properly selected Gruvlok grooved coupling and gasket, while the female threaded end accepts a compatible male threaded pipe or component.
This combination design can reduce the number of individual fittings needed to transition between grooved and threaded piping, resulting in a cleaner and more efficient piping layout.
Efficient Mechanical Piping Installation
The Figure 7087 Grooved Female Thread Adapter provides the installation advantages associated with grooved mechanical piping. The grooved connection eliminates field welding at the joint and can help reduce installation time and labor.
Grooved mechanical connections also simplify maintenance, equipment replacement, and future system modifications. Proper fitting, coupling, gasket, and threaded component selection should be based on pipe size, operating pressure, temperature, conveyed media, and application requirements.
Industrial and Commercial Applications
Typical applications include:
-
Fire protection and sprinkler systems
-
HVAC and mechanical piping
-
Industrial process piping
-
Water distribution systems
-
Utility and plant piping
-
Valve and equipment connections
