Gruvlok Water and Waste Water Treatment Products provide a system for the joining of grooved end ductile piping, grooved in
accordance with ANSI/AWWA C606. The product line consists of a full selection of couplings, flanges and fittings in the 3
through 24 sizes with operating pressures as high as 500 psig. A portable, user-friendly pipe cut groover can be purchased or
O
rented from Anvil to complement the Gruvlok System.

The heart of the Gruvlok System is the Figure 7901 AWWA coupling. For most size connections, just two bolts are needed to
quickly and reliably assemble each joint. The coupling housings are cast ductile iron per ASTM A536 and are coated inside and
outside with a rust inhibiting lead-free paint. Couplings are provided with oval neck track bolts and heavy hex nuts which are
zinc electroplated standard. The head of the oval neck track bolts prevents the bolts from turning as the nuts are tightened.

The Figure 7912 Flange allows direct connection of Class 125 or 150 flanged components to the grooved piping system. The
housings are cast ductile iron per ASTM A536 and are coated inside and outside with a rust inhibiting lead-free paint. Most sizes
use an easy swing over hinge with a latch bolt for quick and easy assembly.
L

The fittings are cast ductile iron per ASTM A536 with grooved end meeting the dimensional specifications of ANSI/AWWA C606.
The wall thickness of the fittings is in compliance of ANSI/AWWA C153 or C110 standards for ductile iron fittings. The fittings
are coated with a rust inhibiting lead-free paint. Other coatings and linings are available to meet your needs and specifications.

The Gruvlok System uses molded Halogenated Butyl gaskets that can be used in temperatures ranging from -20 to 200F. The
gaskets pressure responsive designs respond to increasing pressure by increasing the sealing force to provide a leak-tight seal on
the rough surface of ductile iron pipe.

The assembly of the AWWA couplings is fast and straightforward, simplifying training and greatly reducing installation time. No
V

other connecting system can offer all these benefits:

Lowest total installed costs, plus reduced operating costs

Easy field or shop preparation of pipe ends takes less time than threading or welding, and with fewer
bolts involved the couplings are quick to install. Saves over 50% in time alone.
High end load capabilities without special restraints
Self-restraining design provides the advantages of a resilient seal without the need for added restraint.
Fewer bolts than a flanged system
Up to 75% fewer bolts, cuts installation time and reduces downtime for maintenance.
Provides options for a rigid and flexible connection
U

A simple adjustment to the pipe end groove makes any

pipe connection rigid, or allows controlled axial movement
and deflection to accommodate thermal expansion/
contraction, ground settlement or seismic activity.
Coupling allows full 360 pipe rotation
Eliminates two-holing required for flanged systems, and
avoids the alignment problems of a threaded system.
Affords infinite alignment opportunity, especially important
for tees, laterals, valves and equipment. Allows easy
rotation of pipes to equalize internal wear.
Simplifies disassembly and parts are fully reusable
R

Individual pipes, valves or equipment can be removed

easily without disturbing adjacent parts of system. Never a
need to wedge joints apart, and undamaged Gruvlok
couplings, gaskets and fittings can be reused.

THE GRUVLOK SYSTEM vs. FLANGED SYSTEMS
The Gruvlok System for joining pipe of AWWA sizes is designed to meet specifications as outlined in ANSI/AWWA C-606. A groove
cut into the ductile iron pipe provides a gripping area for the coupling to engage around the full pipe circumference. A specially for-
mulated elastomer gasket is fully enclosed by the ductile iron housings, with coupling housings joined by rugged, plated carbon steel
track bolts. The system is compatible with ductile iron pipe and easily accommodates cement, glass, epoxy or other pipe linings.

Next Page

The Figure 7912 AWWA Flange allows for the direct connection of Class 125 or 150 flanged components directly to a
AWWA ductile iron pipe grooved piping system.

The two halves of the 3 through 12 sizes are hinged and drawn together by a latch bolt which eases assembly onto the
O
pipe. The 14 through 24 sizes are four segments with overlapping bolt holes for increased joint strength. The flange gasket
provides a pressure responsive gasket on both the pipe and the mating flange.

Gruvlok AWWA flanges have designed in anti-rotation tangs, which bite into and grip the side of the pipe groove to provide
a secure, rigid connection.

Gruvlok AWWA Grooved Mechanical Piping Products Specification

General:
Gruvlok Grooved Mechanical Piping Products are designed for permanent or temporary above or below ground
installations in municipal and industrial water and waste water applications. Gruvlok couplings, flanges, fittings, valves
and other components may be used as a proprietary piping method, or listed as an alternative to welding, threaded or

O
flanged piping methods. Operating temperature range from -20F to +200F. The Gruvlok System is excellent for areas of
high seismic activity. The Gruvlok System of fittings and couplings is manufactured in compliance with ANSI/AWWA
Standard C606 - Grooved and Shouldered Joints.
Gruvlok coupling gaskets must be lubricated with approved lubricant as provided by Gruvlok, to assure proper
coupling gasket sealing. Gruvlok Lubricant is required. Other manufacturers gasket lubricants are not recommended,
and in certain applications - prohibited.
Gruvlok products must be installed in strict accordance with published Gruvlok Installation and Assembly Instructions.

Product Specification:
1) The Pipe Coupling Method shall use resilient elas- 9) Coupling, flange adapter and fitting material shall
tomeric pressure responsive gasketing that automati- conform to ductile iron per ASTM A-536 Grade 65-

cally seals more tightly as fluid pressure increases, to
assure a leak tight connection at each joint.
2) The Pipe Coupling Method shall not add to the physi-
cal dimension of the pipe O.D., facilitating the instal-
lation of piping within a minimum of space and
through wall sleeves, without the need for adapters.
L
45-12. Fittings shall adhere to the minimum wall
thickness as set forth in ANSI/AWWA C153 or C110.
Coupling Oval Neck Track Head Bolts shall conform
to ASTM A-183 Grade 2. Hex Nuts shall conform to
ASTM A-563 Grade A. Bolts and Nuts are zinc elec-
troplated.

3) The Pipe Coupling Method shall allow piping to be 10) Gaskets shall be pressure responsive design, Grade
rotated through a full 360 around the pipe axis, M Halogenated Butyl conforming to ASTM D-2000
with operating temperature range from -20F to

allowing infinite alignment of the pipe ends with
adjacent pipes and equipment, as well as the turning
pipes to equalize their internal wall wear. Use of the
practice known as two holing shall not be required.
4) The Pipe Coupling Method shall allow the side con-
nections of Tees and Laterals to rotate through a full
360 providing infinite adjustment.
5) The Pipe Coupling Method shall allow individual
pipe sections or equipment to be made completely
free from the piping system by removing only the
V
+200F.
11) Gasket lubricant shall be Gruvlok Standard or
Extreme Temperature Lubricant.
12) Coatings on exterior and interior of couplings and fit-
tings shall be a rust inhibiting lead-free paint. (Epoxy,
cement linings and other coatings available.)
13) Couplings shall be furnished with heat treated, oval
neck track head bolts to resist turning and to facilitate
tightening the Hex Nuts, and that conform to ASTM

couplings connecting the adjoining pipes, easing
removal or maintenance without having to disturb
adjacent piping.
6) The coupling shall use two bolts for couplings 3
through 12, 4 bolts for couplings 14 through 20"
size, and 6 bolts for the 24" size.
7) The Pipe Coupling Method shall be adaptable
through simple adjustments to the pipe end prepara-
tion to allow joined pipes to be held rigidly, or to
allow axial movement and/or angular deflection of
pipes within a controlled and predictable range.
8) The Pipe Coupling Method shall employ grooved pip-
ing products that comply with the latest revision of
ANSI/AWWA Standard C606 - Grooved and
Shouldered Joint specifications, and shall also comply
with ISO 9002.
U
A-183 Grade 2, zinc electroplated. Bolts shall meet
minimum tensile strength of 110,000 psi. Hex Nuts
shall be carbon steel conforming to ASTM A-563
Grade A. (Stainless Steel bolts and nuts available.)
14) The manufacturer of grooved piping products must
produce a complete line of couplings, fittings and
flanges for piping systems using pipe produced to
AWWA C151 dimensions and produce a complete
line of couplings, fittings and flanges for IPS steel
pipe dimensions to ANSI B36.10. The manufacturer
R
shall provide a warranty that addresses both these
product lines.
15) The Pipe Coupling Method shall be the Gruvlok
brand manufactured by Anvil International, Inc. of
Portsmouth, NH.
