FIG.

7000*

Lightweight Flexible Coupling

The Gruvlok Figure 7000 Lightweight Coupling is designed for

applications where system flexibility is desired.
The Figure 7000 Lightweight Coupling is approximately 30%
lighter in weight than the Figure 7001 Coupling. Working pressure
ratings shown are for reference only and are based on Schedule
40 pipe. For the latest UL/ULC listed, LPCB, VdS and FM Approved
pressure ratings versus pipe schedule, see www.anvilintl.com or
contact your local Anvil Representative.
The Figure 7000 Lightweight Coupling with a Pre-Lubricated Grade
E EPDM, Type A gasket (coupling is easily identified by
purple nuts) is intended for use in fire protection systems installed
in accordance with NFPA Standard 13 Sprinkler Systems.
