Procurement-ready guidance for compatibility, safety, and fewer field surprises Hose fittings look simple until a thread doesn’t match, a gasket isn’t compatible with the media, or a coupling standard changes across regions. For procurement teams, MRO managers, and project engineers, the goal is repeatable: specify fittings that connect the first time, hold pressure in real […]

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 […]
