Fast joins. Reliable performance. Fewer surprises during inspection. Grooved couplings are a workhorse connection method across fire protection, waterworks, irrigation, and industrial piping. They can speed installation and simplify maintenance—but only if the coupling, gasket, groove spec, and service conditions are aligned. This guide breaks down what procurement teams, MRO managers, and project engineers should […]

Grooved Couplings: How to Specify the Right Connection for Fire Protection, Waterworks, and Industrial Piping
A faster pipe-joining method—only when it’s specified correctly Grooved couplings are a go-to solution for joining pipe quickly, keeping crews productive, and simplifying maintenance across fire protection, waterworks, irrigation, and industrial systems. But “grooved coupling” is a broad label—rigid vs. flexible, groove profile, gasket compound, approvals, pressure ratings, and coating requirements all affect performance and […]

Pipeline Strainers: How to Select the Right Strainer for Fire Protection, Waterworks, and Industrial Piping
Cleaner flow. Fewer shutdowns. Better protection for pumps, valves, meters, and nozzles. Pipeline strainers are small components that prevent big problems—damaged pump impellers, stuck valve seats, clogged sprinkler components, inaccurate meters, and premature wear across the entire system. But “a strainer” isn’t one-size-fits-all. The best choice depends on what you’re protecting, how dirty the fluid […]
