When it comes to constructing robust piping systems, FLUID’s grooved joint pipe fittings provide a premium, flexible solution. As a renowned manufacturer of grooved end pipe fittings in China, FLUID offers a wide selection to meet diverse application needs across industries.
Grooved Joint vs. Grooved End Fittings
While both utilize a similar groove design, there are some key differences between grooved joint and grooved end pipe fittings:
Grooved Joint Fittings
- Feature an internal groove machined into the fitting body
- Allows pipe to be inserted and secured using a grooved coupling
- Permits angled connections, branch takeoffs and easy disassembly
- Commonly used in flexible pipe joining applications
Grooved End Fittings
- Have the groove cut directly into the pipe end
- Directly accepts a grooved coupling for a rigid, permanent joint
- Requires precise pipe end preparation for proper sealing
- Typically used in more permanent, straight-run piping layouts
FLUID’s high-quality grooved joint fittings deliver the versatility to handle a broader range of piping configurations and installation requirements compared to the more rigid grooved end style.
Diverse Applications for Grooved Joints
FLUID’s grooved joint pipe fittings find use across a variety of commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects, including:
Fire Protection Systems
- Easily configure flexible sprinkler and standpipe networks
- Accommodate changes in direction, elevation and branch connections
- Facilitate repairs and modifications without system shutdown
HVAC/Plumbing
- Connect chilled/hot water distribution piping for large buildings
- Integrate with grooved pump, valve and other components
- Allow on-site adjustments to adapt to field conditions
Process Piping
- Transport liquids, gases and slurries in manufacturing facilities
- Provide reliable joints that can handle vibration, thermal expansion
- Support modular, expandable piping layouts
Public Utilities
- Build and maintain water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure
- Withstand high pressures and soil/ground movement
