Ductile Iron Grooved Pipe Fittings
Established in 1990, YINUO has since become a leading manufacturer and supplier of mechanical pipe joining systems. For over 30 years, the company specialized in malleable steel, ductile iron, and other conventional fittings. However, in 2010 YINUO branched into grooved pipe fitting production, leveraging their expertise to enter this innovative joining method market. All grooved fittings are manufactured under stringent international standards like EN10242, ANSI, ASME, DIN, and ISO 49. Ratings include pressures up to PN25 and 25 bar.
Product Description
Grooved pipe fittings are a type of mechanical pipe joining system commonly used in industrial piping applications. Rather than welding or threading pipes together, grooved fittings connect pipe via interlocking steel grooves cut circumferentially into the pipe ends.
A flexible coupling houses rubber gaskets that compress to form a pressure-tight seal between the grooves. These couplings can be installed without heat and are suitable for joining different pipe materials like steel, ductile iron.
Compared to other joining methods, grooved fittings offer several advantages. They can be installed faster without specialized skills or equipment like welders. The grooved connection is very secure and will not leak or come loose over time. Disassembly and replacement of sections is also simpler if needed.
RAL3000 Iron 45 Degree Elbow:
- The RAL3000 ductile iron 45 Degree Elbow is engineered for longevity in pipeline applications. Crafted from ASTM A536 grade iron, this fitting is designed to provide years of reliable service.
- Dimensions comply fully with ANSI/AWWA C606 standards for grooved connections. Every production run undergoes stringent quality testing to ensure compliance with specifications.
- The elbow maintains a maximum operating pressure of 500 PSI. Integral grooves mate securely with ASTM F1493 compliant couplings. EPDM gaskets within the coupling housing facilitate trouble-free sealing from -30F to 230F.
- Suitable for joining Schedule 5 to Schedule 80 pipe from 4 to 24 inches, this grooved fitting streamlines field installation versus welding. Industries such as water, wastewater and construction rely on the RAL3000 elbow for establishing bends in pressurized piping with long-lasting durability and leak-proof joints.
