Reduced Installation Time and Cost
Methods such as welding and soldering are labor-intensive and can be very expensive in high-cost regions. Pipe grooving reduces installation cost by up to 30%, allowing contractors to cut labor costs and stay within budget.

Flexible Retrofits and Repairs
When an owner cannot afford to shut down a facility for important retrofits, GRINNELL mechanical products solve the problem. GRINNELL couplings and fittings allow an installer to fabricate onsite and around complex problems and obstacles. No fire permits are required and no welding fumes force building residents to evacuate.

Accommodates Pipe Expansion
GRINNELL flexible couplings are able to absorb linear movements of pipework due to temperature changes, eliminating or minimizing the use of expansion joints. GRINNELL Mechanical Services offers customers assistance with designing flexible couplings into thermal expansion projects.

Ideal for Hazardous Environments
Grooved pipe does not require welding, threading or cutting, which eliminates cutting oils, fumes, and flames. It is the ideal method for joining pipe in enclosed, flammable, or hazardous sites like tunnels and mines and doesn't require burn or hot-works permits.

Connection Consistency
When construction calls for tough piping applications, GRINNELL grooved products maintain high pressures at each connection without sacrificing quality and reliability. GRINNELL grooved systems allow for quick assembly that's simple and consistent from one worker to the next. Projects are completed on time, and crews can readily move on to their next installations.
