Gruvlok® Figure 7305 HDPE Coupling

The Gruvlok Figure 7305 couplings are designed for mechanically joining HDPE (high density polyethylene) pipeand fittings. Each coupling uses four bolts to drive the sharply machined housing teeth into the outside of the pipe.The teeth are arranged in two banks, each bank consisting of at least three rows of spiral teeth which effectively gripthe pipe, providing a secure mechanical joint with pressure capabilities exceeding that of the HDPE pipe itself. The banks of teeth are positioned away from the gasket, enhancing the sealing ability of the gasket throughout itsoperating temperature range.

The Figure 7305 features a low profile contoured housing with a ramp along the outside diameter, allowing the coupling to glide over most obstacles while long lengths of the pipeline are being relocated. This cost effective, easy-to-assemble mechanical joint is used to join SDR 32.5 to 7.3 wall thickness HDPE pipe conforming to ASTM D-2447, D-3000, D-3035, or F-714 and eliminates the need for costly fusion equipment.

1Make certain the pipe ends are free of indentations,projections or other imperfections, which could prevent

proper sealing of the gasket.

Mark each pipe at a distance from the end of the pipeaccording to the pipe size:

Size Inches Distance to Mark2-4" 1"5-8" 11/4"

10 & 12" 13/4"

Note: Make certain the HDPE pipe end is square cut to1/8'' maximum for the 2'' to 4'' and 5/32'' maximum for the6'' and larger sizes.

2 Check to assure the gasket material is accept ablefor the intended service. The Gasket color code is

green for EPDM and orange for Nitrile (Buna-N).Caution: Use only Gruvlok Xtreme™ Lubricant.Gruvlok Xtreme™ Lubricant contains silicone. Ifsilicone is unacceptable for the application contactGruvlok for the lubrication recommendation. Apply athin coating of Gruvlok Xtreme™ Lubricant to thegasket lip and outside surface of the gasket.

5 Insert the bolts and secure the nuts alternately and uniformly until the bolt pads are in contact. Torque

all bolts to the required bolt torque levels. Refer to theSpecified Bolt Torque Section on page 11. There is nogap between the bolt pads and the bolt torque shouldbe within the range given when the coupling is properlyassembled. Alternate and even tightening of the boltswill significantly reduce the torque needed to close thegap at the pipe joint.

3 Slip the gasket over one of the pipe ends. Make sure the gasket does not overhang the pipe end.

Align the second pipe and while keeping the pipes inthe butted position slide the gasket back over the secondpipe end. The gasket must be positioned centrallybetween the lines on the pipe ends.

4 Place the Figure 7305 housing casting over the gasket, making sure the tongue on one casting is

aligned with the recess of the other casting.

The Gruvlok Figure 7307 HDPE transition coupling allows for transitioning from HDPE pipe or fittings to steelgrooved-end pipe prepared according to Gruvlok specifications, or Gruvlok fittings. The Figure 7307 incorporates twobanks of machined teeth on one side of the housing, and a key section on the other, which engages specifically groovedsteel pipe or fittings. The banks of teeth on one side are positioned away from the gasket, enhancing the sealingcapability of the gasket. The temperature and pressure capabilities of the Figure 7307 typically exceed the highesttemperature and pressure ratings of the HDPE pipe.

The Figure 7307 features a low profile contoured housing with a ramp along the outside diameter on the HDPE halfof the coupling. This easy to assemble mechanical joint is used to join HDPE pipe (conforming to ASTM D-2447, D-3000,D-3035, or F-714) to roll grooved or cut grooved standard weight and, roll grooved lightweight pipe, as well as withgrooved-end fittings and valves. The coupling can be used with HDPE pipe having SDR values of 7.3 to 32.5.

Warning:• Gruvlok products for HDPE pipe must be installed using Gruvlok Xtreme™ Lubricant.

• The gasket temperature rating may exceed the manufacturer’s temperature rating for the HDPE pipe. Consult the HDPE pipe manufacturer for the temperature and pressure ratings of the HDPE pipe.

4 Tighten the housing nut until the housing bolt pads make firm metal to metal contact. Torque all bolts

to the required latch bolt torque levels. Refer to theSpecified Latch Bolt Torque Section on page 11.

2 Check to assure the gasket material is acceptable for the intended service. The gasket color code is

green for EPDM and orange for Nitrile (Buna-N). Caution:Use only Gruvlok Xtreme™ Lubricant. GruvlokXtreme™ Lubricant contains silicone. If Silicone isunacceptable for the application contact Gruvlok forthe lubrication recommendation. Apply a thin coatingof Gruvlok Xtreme™ Lubricant to the gasket lips andoutside surface of the gasket.

Step 1 Step 2

Step 3 Step 4

3 Place the housing over the end of the pipe and using a straight edge, align the face and the flange

face with the end of the pipe. Do not let the pipe extendbeyond the flange face.

5 Position the Gruvlok Flange gasket around the pipeend and press the gasket into the flange gasket

pocket. Be sure the flange sealing lips are facing out.

Step 56Align the Gruvlok Flange bolt holes with the mating

flange bolt holes. Insert a standard bolt or stud throughone bolt hole and thread the nut on hand tight. Insert thenext bolt or stud opposite the first and thread the nut onhand tight. Continue this procedure until all holes havebeen fitted. Note: Take care to assure the gasket lip isnot bent backwards and pinched between the two flanges.

Step 6

7 Tighten the flange face nuts alternately and evenly so that the flange faces remain parallel and make

firm contact around the entire flange. Torque all bolts tothe required mating flange joint torque levels. Refer tothe Specified Mating Flange Bolt Torque Section onpage 11.

Step 7

1Make certain the pipe end is square cut to ¹⁄₈''maximum for the 4'' and ⁵⁄₃₂'' maximum for the 6''

and 8'' sizes. Inspect the surface of the mating flange tobe assured the surface is free of dimensions of the matingflange to be assured that the scratches, indentations,projections, or other imperfections, which could preventproper sealing of the gasket.

Page 11: Flange Adapter

Specified Bolt Torques

Specified bolt torque is for the latch and mating flange bolts used on Gruvlok® flanges. The nuts must be tightened alternately and evenly until fullytightened. Caution: Use of an impact wrench is not recommended because the torque output can vary significantly due to many variablesincluding air pressure supply, battery strength and operational variations.

Caution: Proper torquing of latch and mating flange bolts is required to obtain specified performance. Over torquing the bolts may result indamage to the bolt and/or casting which could result in pipe joint separation. Under torquing the bolts may result in lower pressure retentioncapabilities, lower bend load capabilities, joint leakage and pipe joint separation. Pipe joint separation may result in significant property damageand serious injury.

Fig. 7312 – Specified Bolt Torque for Latch and Mating Flange Bolts

Fig. 7305 and Fig. 7307 – Specified Bolt TorqueSpecified bolt torque is for the oval neck track bolts used on Gruvlok® couplings. The nuts must be tightened alternately and evenly until fullytightened. Caution: Use of an impact wrench is not recommended because the torque output can vary significantly due to many variablesincluding air pressure supply, battery strength and operational variations.

Caution: Proper torquing of coupling bolts is required to obtain specified performance. Over torquing the bolts may result in damage tothe bolt and/or casting which could result in pipe joint separation. Under torquing the bolts may result in lower pressure retention capabili-ties, lower bend load capabilities, joint leakage and pipe joint separation. Pipe joint separation may result in significant property damage andserious injury.
