Asc Engineered Solutions 390000263 Grooved Coupling 2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390000263 is a lightweight grooved coupling designed for use in piped mechanical systems requiring fast, reliable pipe joining without welding or threading. Part of the Gruvlok 7000-E series, this 2-inch coupling connects grooved-end pipe segments using a bolted housing that draws evenly around the pipe groove to form a secure, leak-resistant joint. At 2.03 pounds, the lightweight ductile iron construction reduces installation fatigue on overhead and elevated runs. It is installed by licensed pipefitters, mechanical contractors, and plumbing professionals working on commercial or industrial piping systems.

This coupling is suited for 2-inch grooved pipe applications in commercial HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection piping, industrial process lines, and plumbing distribution. The grooved joining method allows for controlled flexibility and angular deflection, which is useful in systems subject to thermal movement or vibration. Its compact form factor makes it practical in tight mechanical rooms and congested pipe chases where rigid-joint alternatives are difficult to work with.

Key Features

• Lightweight ductile iron construction at 2.03 pounds for reduced handling fatigue
• 2-inch grooved end connection for tool-assisted bolt-up assembly
• Gruvlok 7000-E series design for consistent groove engagement
• No welding or threading required at the joint
• Allows controlled flexibility and angular deflection in the pipe line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement grooved coupling for 2-inch grooved-end pipe in commercial and industrial mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters or mechanical contractors. Depressurize and drain the affected pipe section before disassembling or replacing any grooved coupling. Verify that pipe ends are properly grooved to the correct profile depth before seating the coupling housing and gasket. Torque fasteners evenly and in accordance with the manufacturer specification sheet for the 7000-E series to ensure proper gasket compression and joint integrity.
