Discover grooved connections, a technology that increases the reliability of the fire-fighting system.
FAMAC has just included in its portfolio FNI motor pumps with grooved connections, a technology that increases the reliability of the fire-fighting system.
In fact, anyone who works with fire-fighting systems knows that the reliability of the pump is everything! Above all, it is the equipment that cannot fail, whether as the main pump or as a jockey, maintaining water pressure.
In fact, it is very likely that you are already familiar with FAMAC's FNI line, synonymous with reliability in this regard. Likewise, to improve the options of solutions available to the market, we bring another novelty: FNI motor pumps with grooved connections.
Have you ever heard of this type of connection? Either way, let us explain.
Grooved Connection: What is it?
Grooved fittings, also known as grooved fittings, are mechanical pipe joints that use grooves at the ends of pipes and fittings, along with a sealing ring and a coupling. In other words, instead of welding or threading, grooved fittings use a quick and secure fitting system.
Composition and Functioning
In summary, the grooved connection is composed and works as follows:
- Grooves: The ends of the pipes and fittings are given circular grooves.
- Sealing ring rubber placed over the grooves.
- Coupling split fitting over the sealing ring and grooves, securing the connection.
- Screws, tightened to ensure sealing and fixing of the connection.
(Still, for those who have never seen a grooved connection, it is worth watching a quick video made by our partner Pablo Brum from the Engenharia do Incêndio channel (click here to watch).
In fact, in addition to being widely used in fire-fighting systems, the grooved connection is also found in drinking water systems, compressed air systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems and other industrial applications.
Bye-bye Leaks!
Just imagine: no more complicated welding or threaded connections that cause headaches. In this sense, with the grooved connection, everything is faster, more practical and safer. It is certainly a technology that simplifies installation, speeds up maintenance and, best of all, ensures excellent sealing, drastically reducing the risk of leaks.
In conclusion, using grooved connections will provide greater safety and peace of mind for you and your projects. It is the perfect solution, especially for those seeking efficiency and reliability in fire-fighting systems.
