These systems are a dependable alternative to joining pipes without having to weld or solder. As with most piping systems, cut groove pipe is available in a variety of materials or dimensions, allowing for use in most applications. Each grooved pipe, grooved pipe fitting, nipple or valve contain the same grooves. They are then joined by grooved end pipe couplings with pressure responsive gaskets and shoulders. This connection allows for a pressure-tight piping system. Using a Grooved Cut Piping System allows for easy maintenance due to the fact that at each joint, there is a grooved coupling, which with proper tools can be easily removed. Grooved Piping works in many applications, such as, but not limited to:
