Constructed from ductile iron and finished with a painted exterior, this coupling delivers the structural integrity required for high-demand mechanical, fire protection, and HVAC piping installations. At 14.97 pounds, it is sized for 8-inch pipe and conforms to standard grooved-end pipe dimensions. Pipefitters and mechanical contractors install this coupling where rigid joint performance is needed to limit angular deflection and axial movement at the connection point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for commercial and industrial piping systems where grooved-end pipe joining methods are specified. Typical applications include HVAC chilled water and condenser water mains, fire suppression distribution mains, and industrial process piping. The rigid joint design makes it the correct choice when system layouts require a fixed, braced connection rather than a flexible joint. It is intended for use on 8-inch grooved-end pipe prepared to standard cut or roll groove specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRigid joint design restricts angular deflection and axial movement for fixed-pipe configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDuctile iron construction provides high tensile strength for demanding mechanical piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePainted exterior finish provides corrosion resistance during storage and service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch nominal size fits standard grooved-end pipe prepared to cut or roll groove dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrooved coupling method enables faster assembly compared to welded or flanged alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style grooved coupling for use with standard 8-inch grooved-end pipe in rigid-joint mechanical piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or qualified mechanical contractor. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any grooved coupling. Verify that pipe ends are prepared to the correct groove profile and dimensions before assembly, and inspect the gasket seating surface for damage. Follow applicable mechanical codes, including NFPA 13 for fire protection systems where relevant, and the manufacturer's torque specifications for fastener tightening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ductile Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.97 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 390013571\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234018328882,"sku":"0390013571","price":84.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307627478.jpg?v=1780115168","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-390013571-gruvlok-8-inch-rigidlok-grooved-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
