The Gruvlok Figure 7307 HDPE Transition Coupling is a cost effective,
easy to assemble, mechanical joint intended to connect HDPE pipe to
Gruvlok standard weight roll or cut grooved steel pipe, lightweight roll
grooved pipe, or Gruvlok grooved-end fittings and valves. The Figure
7307 is compatible with HDPE pipe conforming to ASTM F714, D2447,
D3000, or D3035 having wall thicknesses ranging from SDR 32.5 to SDR
7.3 and any schedule steel pipe conforming to Gruvlok’s standard pipe
specifications.
Each coupling uses four bolts to drive sharply machined teeth into the
outside of the HDPE pipe and engages a keyed section into the grooved
steel pipe or fitting. When the teeth effectively grip into the pipe, it
provides a secure and rigid mechanical connection with pressure
capabilities exceeding that of the HDPE pipe itself without the need for
costly fusion equipment.
The banks of teeth are positioned away from the gasket to enhance the coupling’s sealing ability
throughout the operating temperature range. As a result, the temperature and pressure capabilities
of the Figure 7307 Transition Coupling exceed the highest temperature and pressure ratings of the
HDPE pipe.
The Figure 7307 HDPE Transition Coupling also features a low-profile contoured housing with
ramps along the outside diameter. This allows the coupling to slide over most obstacles when long
lengths of the pipeline are relocated.
WARNING:
1. Gruvlok products for HDPE pipe must be installed using Gruvlok Xtreme™ Temperature Lubricant.
2. The listed gasket temperature rating may exceed the manufacturer’s temperature rating for HDPE pipe. Consult with the
HDPE pipe manufacturer for appropriate service temperatures before use.
3. The Figure 7305 HDPE Coupling is intended for use on HDPE Pipe only. Use of other plastic pipe materials is prohibited.
