Grooved fittings are commonly used in the piping industry to connect pipes of various sizes and materials. They are designed to join pipes using grooves and couplings to form a secure, leak-proof seal. When buying domestic reducing grooved couplings, you can consider things like:
- Proper seating: Ensuring the coupling is properly seated in the grooves.
- Pipe ends: Checking that pipe ends are not substantially damaged or deformed, which could impact the coupling gasket's performance
