Grooved Pipe Fitting Tee and Coupling Set

Grooved Pipe Fitting Tee and Coupling Set

Product Overview

The Grooved Pipe Fitting Tee and Coupling Set is a comprehensive collection of mechanical piping components designed for the rapid assembly and modification of fluid transport systems. This set typically includes Grooved Tees (for branching flow) and Grooved Couplings (for joining straight pipe sections), along with the necessary gaskets and fasteners. Engineered for high efficiency, these fittings utilize a grooved-end connection system that eliminates the need for welding or threading, making them the industry standard for fire protection, water treatment, and industrial process piping.

Key Features and Benefits

• Rapid Installation: The grooved system allows for quick assembly using a simple wrench and coupling housing, reducing installation time by up to 50% compared to welded or flanged systems.

• System Flexibility: The elastomeric gaskets within the couplings accommodate thermal expansion, contraction, and pipe deflection, while also dampening vibration and noise.

• High Integrity & Safety: Designed to meet rigorous safety standards (UL, FM), ensuring leak-tight performance under high pressure and vacuum conditions.

• Ease of Maintenance: The modular nature of grooved fittings allows for easy disassembly and reassembly, facilitating system modifications or repairs without cutting pipes.

• Versatile Material Options: Available in Ductile Iron (standard), Stainless Steel, and Carbon Steel to suit various fluid compatibility requirements.

Set Components & Specifications

A standard Tee and Coupling Set is configured to match specific pipeline requirements:

1. Grooved Tees (Branching)

• Function: Allows a 90-degree branch line from a main run.

• Types:

• Equal Tee: All three outlets are the same size.

• Reducing Tee: The branch outlet is smaller than the run outlets.

• Material: Ductile Iron (ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12).

• Coating: Red Epoxy (Fire Protection), Green Epoxy (Water), or Galvanized.

2. Grooved Couplings (Joining)

• Function: Connects two grooved pipe ends.

• Types:

• Rigid Coupling: Locks the pipe ends together, preventing movement and rotation (essential for vertical risers).

• Flexible Coupling: Allows for limited angular deflection and axial movement (ideal for absorbing vibration and thermal expansion).

3. Technical Data

• Size Range: 2" (DN50) to 12" (DN300).

• Pressure Ratings:

• Standard: 300 PSI (20 bar) for sizes up to 12".

• Heavy Duty: 500 PSI (34 bar) or higher for specific industrial applications.

• Gasket Material: EPDM (standard for water/fire), Nitrile (for oil/fuel), or Viton (for chemicals).

• Standards: UL Listed, FM Approved, NSF/ANSI 61.

Applications

This fitting set is critical for a wide range of infrastructure and industrial projects:

• Fire Protection Systems: The primary choice for sprinkler systems and standpipes due to UL/FM certification and speed of installation.

• Water & Wastewater: Used in potable water distribution, pump stations, and treatment plants.

• HVAC: Connecting chilled water and heating pipes in commercial complexes.

• Mining & Industrial: Handling slurry, process water, and air lines.

• Power Generation: Cooling water circuits and auxiliary piping.
