System Design
Grooved Piping Products provide the versatility required in
piping systems through the use of rigid and flexible piping
products. Figure 572 and 575 Couplings incorporate rotation
resistant gripping teeth which provide the installer and
designer with increased benefits.
Rigid Joints
Rigid Couplings provide rigid gripping of the pipe. They are

designed to bring the pipe ends closely together and the
coupling clamps firmly onto the pipe OD and also into the
bottom of the grooves. Because Rigid Couplings clamp
around the entire pipe surface, they provide resistance to
flexural loads and therefore permit longer spacing to ASME/
ANSI B31.1 (Power Piping) and ASME/ANSI B39.1 (Building
Services) requirements as well as NFPA 13 (Sprinkler
Systems).
Flexible Joints
Flexible Couplings act as an "expansion joint", allowing linear

and angular movement of the pipe. They are designed with
the coupling keys engaging the pipe without gripping on the
bottom of the grooves, while still providing for a restrained
mechanical joint. This is particularly useful to allow for pipe
expansion or contraction and piping misalignment.
12 System Design
Close
Pipe Hanger Spacing
All piping systems require that the support system
accommodate the weight of the pipe, joint connections, fluid
and other system components.
In general, the requirements of NFPA 13 govern sprinkler
system design.

Note: Dry pipe and freezer systems are unique

applications which benefit from proper pipe
preparation and the use of rigid couplings, such as
our Figures 572 and 772 couplings and our Tri-Seal
gaskets. Reducing couplings are not recommended
for these applications. Standard lube is not
recommended for this application as it freezes and
can cause leakage.
Proper pipe end preparation and grooving is
mandatory to prevent leakage (See specifications for
cut and roll grooving). The gasket seat surface must
be free from score marks, ridges, indentations,
projections, loose paint, flaking galvanizing, scale,
dirt chips, grease, rust, etc. that would prevent a
positive seal.
The best choice for a trouble free system is to use
our rigid couplings with our Tri-Seal gaskets and a
petroleum free silicone base lubricant. Pre-
lubricated gaskets do not require the use of silicone
lubricant.

Close
Tri-Seal Freezer Gasket
The Tri-Seal Grade E freezer gasket is used primarily for dry

pipe fire protection systems, vacuum service, and freezer
applications. The Tri-Seal freezer gasket differs from standard
gaskets by closing off the gap or gasket cavity. This is
accomplished by positioning the center “rib” of the gasket over
the gap between the pipes. The Tri-Seal freezer gasket has
two tapered sealing edges in addition to the center rib for
additional strength and sealing.
The Tri-Seal freezer gasket is available in sizes 11/4" to 12"
and is designed for use with Figure 575, 572, 705, 707 and
772 Couplings. A petroleum-free silicone based lubricant is
recommended for dry pipe systems. For low temperature
services or dry systems in cold storage or freezer applications,
use Tri-Seal freezer gaskets. For vacuum services greater
than 10" Hg, Tri-Seal gaskets should be used.
Note: Rigid couplings are preferred for vacuum, dry pipe and
freezer applications.
Pre-Lubricated Gasket
Pre-lubricated gaskets are provided with a propritary coating
which eliminates the need for the installer to apply a lubricant
during the assembly process. They are available in both the
Grade A EPDM or Tri-Seal Grade E EPDM styles.

Figure 572 and 772 Rigid Coupling patented
Always read and understand the instructions. Never remove any
piping component without verifying that the system is depressurized
and drained.
Rigid Couplings with Tri-Seal gaskets are preferred for dry pipe
and freezer applications.
Installation / Assembly Instructions
The following instructions apply to Figure 572 and 772 Rigid
Couplings. The installation is based on pipe grooved in accordance
with Standard Cut Groove or Roll Groove Specifications.
Step 1. Inspect exterior groove and ends of the
pipe to verify all loose debris, dirt, chips, paint
and any other foreign material such as grease
are removed. Pipe ends sealing surfaces must
be free from projections, indentations, or other
markings.
Step 2. Verify that the coupling and gasket grade
are correct for the application intended. Plese
refer to “Gasket Grades and Gasket
Recommendations” Literature for additional
information.
The edges and outer surfaces of the gasket
should be covered with a fine layer of petroleum-
free silicone lubricant or equivalent. Petroleum lubricant should not
be used on Grade “E” “EPDM” or Grade A “EPDMA” gaskets to
prevent deterioration of the gasket material. Tri-seal gaskets are
recommended for freezer applications.
Note: Silicone lubricant must be used in Dry Pipe and Freezer
Applications. (Pre-lubricated gaskets do not require silicone libricant.)
Step 3. Install the gasket by placing the gasket over
the pipe, which is to be fastened by the rigid
coupling and ensure that the gasket lip does not
extend beyond the end of the pipe.
Step 4. Bring both pipe ends together, ensure proper

alignment and slide the gasket into position,
properly centering it between the grooved
portions of each pipe.
Note: the gasket should not protrude into the grooves on either pipe
segments or extend between the pipe ends.

Figure 572 and 772 Rigid Coupling (Cont.) patented
Step 5. With one nut and bolt removed, “swing

around” as shown. Verify that the housings are
over the gasket and that the housing keys are
fully engaged into the grooves.
Note: Sizes 11⁄4" - 12" Figure 772 and

Figure 572 utilize a tongue and recess
arrangement, which must be mated
properly for the coupling to function
according to design.
These pictures show the patented “Universal
Tongue and Recess” arrangement. These
coupling housings have identical tongue/
recess pairs at each end, which allow an
engagement fit no matter which end of the
housing is brought together.
Step 6. Insert the other bolt into the coupling and

rotate the nuts until finger tight. Verify that the
bolt heads are fully recessed in the housing.
Step 7. Alternate between bolts when tightening

nuts until properly torqued as shown in the
table. Note: uneven tightening can cause the
gasket to pinch or bind.
Note that on the 11⁄4" - 8" Figure 572 and 11⁄4" -

12" 772 couplings there is an intended gap of up
to 1/16 of an inch at each pad to allow for
positive rigid gripping onto the pipe.

The following instructions apply to Figure 40-5 Strap.
Verify that the gasket grade is correct for the application
intended. Please refer to “Gasket Grades and Gasket
Recommendations” literature for additional information.
Step 1.
Check for proper gasket positioning in
housing. Gasket lubrication is not required
on this product.
Step 2.
To assemble the strap on the pipe, remove the
“U” bolt. Place the outlet housing over the
hole in the pipe. Verify that the housing spike
is positioned in the hole.
Step 3.
Insert the “U” bolt into the housing and rotate
the nuts clockwise until finger tight.
Step 4.
Alternate between tightening nuts until
properly torqued. The torque should not
exceed 15 lbs.-ft. (20 Nm) on pipe with a wall
thickness less than Schedule 10, or 25 lbs.-ft.
(34 Nm) for Schedule 10 and above.
Overtorqueing can damage thin wall pipe and
will not increase sealing efficiency.

Step 2. Verify that the gasket selection is correct

for the application intended. Please refer to
“Gasket Grades and Gasket Recommendations”
literature for additional information.
Insert one flange bolt (not supplied) in hinge
section of Figure 71 Flange Adapter. Place the
hinged assembly into the groove on the pipe.
Step 3. Close the flange with another bolt. To
ease in the closure of the flange, two tabs are
provided. Take an adjustable wrench and
place it over the two tabs as shown. Move the
wrench parallel to the pipe until the holes
align. Once the holes align insert a bolt.
Verify that the housing keys are fully engaged
into the groove.
Step 5. The edges and outer surface of the gasket
should be covered with a fine layer of
petroleum-free silicone lubricant or equivalent.
Petroleum lubricant should not be used on
Grade “E” EPDM or Grade “A” EPDMA gaskets
to prevent deterioration of the gasket material.
Step 6. Place the gasket into the gasket pocket
with the gasket marking side in first.
Step 7. Bring both the Figure 71 Flange and the

opposite Flange together. Ensure proper
alignment and slide each of the remaining
flange bolts (not supplied) in each of the
remaining bolt holes. Tighten all nuts
uniformly to bring the flange faces firmly together and ensure that
the nuts are sufficiently torqued. (see torque values on previous page)
Note: Metal flange washer adapters are required when the Figure 71
Flange Adapter is used against surfaces such as:
1. Rubber surfaces 2. Adapting to AWWA cast flanges
3. Rubber faced wafer valves 4. Serrated flange surfaces
Figure 71 Flange Adapters are not recommended for applications
which incorporate tie rods for anchoring or on a standard fitting
within 90° of each other. Contact Tyco Fire Products for
recommendations prior to using with plastic pipe.
