Why Grooved?
Reduced Installation Time and Cost
Methods such as welding and soldering are labor intensive and can be very expensive in high-cost regions . Pipe grooving reduces installation cost by up to 30%, allowing contractors to slash labor costs and remain within budget .
Flexible Retrofits and Repairs
When an owner cannot afford to shut down a facility for important retrofits, GRINNELL Mechanical Products solves the problem . GRINNELL Couplings and Fittings allow an installer to fabricate on-site and around complex problems and obstacles . Fire permits are not required and building residents do not have to evacuate due to welding fumes .
Pipe Expansion Support
GRINNELL Flexible Couplings absorb linear and angular movements of pipe work due to temperature changes, eliminating or minimizing the use of expansion joints . GRINNELL Mechanical Services offers customers assistance with designing flexible couplings into thermal expansion projects .
No Special Tools
Grooved Products are assembled onto a standard groove . No special tools or additional training to complete the job are required .
Compatibility With
Hazardous Environments
Grooved Pipe does not require welding, threading, or cutting, eliminating cutting oils, fumes, and flames . It is the ideal method for joining pipe in enclosed, flammable, or hazardous sites like tunnels and mines . And it doesn't require burn or hot-works permits .
Connection Consistency
When construction calls for tough piping applications, GRINNELL Grooved Products maintain high pressures at each connection without sacrificing quality and reliability . GRINNELL Grooved Systems allow for quick assembly that is simple and consistent from one worker to the next . Projects are completed on time, and crews can readily move on to their next installations .
