Grooved Couplings and Fittings

LIFECO Grooved Couplings and Fittings provide a reliable and efficient method of joining steel piping for fire protection and other demanding piping applications.

Traditional steel pipe connections commonly rely on welding, flanges or threaded joints. The LIFECO grooved piping system offers a mechanical alternative using grooved couplings, branch outlet fittings and a comprehensive range of grooved fittings.

The connection is formed on the external surface of the pipe. This helps preserve the internal diameter and interior surface of the piping while supporting efficient installation, inspection, maintenance and future system modification.

The LIFECO range includes:

• Rigid grooved couplings
• Flexible grooved couplings
• Split flanges
• Flange adapters
• Mechanical branch outlet fittings
• Elbows
• Tees
• Reducers
• Caps
• Crosses

Rigid couplings restrain the connected pipe ends and support controlled pipe positioning where joint movement is not intended. Flexible couplings permit defined axial movement or angular deflection within their published limits. The appropriate coupling should be selected according to the complete piping design, including pressure, pipe dimensions, groove compatibility, movement requirements, gasket material and support arrangement.

Key product highlights include:

• Working pressures up to 500 PSI
• Strong and durable construction
• Rigid and flexible coupling options
• External-surface pipe connection
• Broad selection of couplings, outlets and fittings
• Selected models and sizes UL Listed
• Selected models and sizes FM Approved
• Suitable for fire protection and general piping applications

LIFECO Grooved Couplings and Fittings can support fire protection systems, commercial developments, industrial facilities, municipal infrastructure and utility piping networks.

Certification and performance coverage may vary according to the product model, size, pressure and configuration. Always consult the current technical datasheet, installation instructions and approval documentation before specifying a product.
