Product description

The grooved connection technology, also known as the clamp connection technology, has been quickly accepted by both domestic and international markets due to its advanced nature. It has gradually replaced the two traditional pipe connection methods of flange and welding. The grooved connection technology is not only more mature in terms of technology but also widely recognized in the market. Moreover, it has been actively promoted by national regulations and policies. The application of grooved connection technology has simplified the complex pipe connection process, making it faster and more convenient, and has taken a significant step forward in the field of pipe connection technology.

Customer challenge

Traditional threaded connections require on-site thread machining, which is inconvenient for construction.

Traditional welding connections produce welding slag and fumes, causing pollution. They require high-level construction and installation qualifications. Construction is very inconvenient, project delivery cycles are long, and costs are high.

Traditional welding and flange connections have low installation efficiency, high installation costs, long construction periods, and complex disassembly and maintenance.

Traditional flange connections require a large installation space and cannot be installed in confined spaces.

Traditional welding and flange connections are rigid and cannot address issues such as pipe thermal expansion and contraction, or pipe settlement.

Performance Safety and Reliability

Noise Reduction

Vibration Absorption

Quick Installation

Anti-Collision

Environmental Protection

Our company is the only one in China that holds four certifications: FM, UL, LPCB, and VdS, and we also have the most comprehensive range of 3C certifications in China. The pressure ratings range from 225psi to 750psi, meeting your needs for different pressure levels.

The rubber seals used in our products are elastic and effectively reduce vibrations, significantly lowering noise levels.

The reserved pipe end clearance effectively addresses thermal expansion and contraction of the pipes, compensating for pipe settlement.

Easy disassembly and maintenance allow for convenient replacement of pipe fittings. In particular, our quick-install series increases installation speed by tenfold.

High mechanical strength, strong pressure-bearing capacity, and resistance to impacts.

The surface treatment of bolts and nuts uses trivalent chromium, which is environmentally friendly and non-polluting. On-site installation is also eco-friendly, with no welding slag or fumes.

Value advantage

Corrosion Resistance

The surface of the castings can be treated with anti-corrosion methods such as electrophoretic painting, powder coating, and hot-dip galvanizing.
Easy Maintenance

The system is highly stable and easy to maintain. The unique flexibility of the grooved pipe fittings allows the piping to withstand vibrations, contraction, and expansion. Compared to welding and flange connections, the stability of the piping system is enhanced, making it more adaptable to temperature changes. This protects the piping valves and reduces the destructive effects of pipe stress on structural components.
Easy Installation

The connection operations of grooved pipe fittings are extremely simple and do not require special professional skills. Ordinary workers can perform the operations after simple training. The required operating space is minimal, enabling true installation against walls and in corners. The difficulty of operation is significantly reduced, thus saving floor space and improving the aesthetic effect of the piping installation.
Construction Safety

With the grooved pipe fitting connection technology, only a cutting machine, a grooving machine, and a wrench for tightening bolts are needed on-site. Construction organization is convenient and does not require open flame treatment.
Economic Benefits

The simple connection operations of grooved pipe fittings save labor and time, thus offering good economic benefits.
