NOTE
Silicone lubricant must be used in dry pipe and freezer applications.
The edges and outer surfaces of the gasket should be covered with a
fine layer of petroleum-free silicone lubricant or equivalent. To prevent
deterioration of the gasket material a petroleum lubricant should not be
used on Grade “A” “EPDM” or Grade “E” “EPDM” gaskets.
NOTES
Uneven tightening can cause the gasket to
pinch or bind. For proper bolt torques refer to
Page 37 for Figure 772, and Page 39 for Figure
577. Bolt torque information has been provided
in accordance with the UL 213 “Standard For
Rubber Gasketed Fittings For Fire Protection
Service” (Refer to Page 9).
For more information refer to Tech Data
Sheets TFP1850 (Figure 772), and TFP1854
(Figure 577).
The 1-1/4” - 12” 772 and 1-1/4” - 8” 577 couplings
have an intended gap of up to 1/16 inch at
each pad to allow for positive rigid gripping
onto the pipe.
24 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
Silicone lubricant must be used in dry pipe and freezer applications.
The edges and outer surfaces of the gasket should be covered with
a fine layer of petroleum-free silicone lubricant or equivalent. To
prevent deterioration of the gasket material a petroleum lubricant
should not be used on Grade “A” “EPDM” or Grade “E” “EPDM”
gaskets.
Step 3. Install the gasket by placing the
gasket over the pipe, which is to be fas-
tened by the flexible coupling and ensure
that the gasket lip does not extend beyond
the end of the pipe.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 25
NOTES
Uneven tightening can cause the gasket to pinch or bind. For proper
bolt torques refer to Page 45. Bolt torque information has been
provided in accordance with the UL 213 “Standard For Rubber
Gasketed Fittings For Fire Protection Service” (Refer to Page 9).
Figure 716 Coupling Housings bolt pads must be in metal to metal
contact.
Use an optional Type 304 stainless steel metal insert to prevent pipe
telescoping when installed in the vertical position. Place the insert
inside the gasket, align the insert slots with the ribs on the gasket.
For more information refer to Tech Data Sheet TFP1830.
28 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES
For proper bolt torques refer to Pages 46 and 48. Bolt torque
information has been provided in accordance with the UL 213
“Standard For Rubber Gasketed Fittings For Fire Protection Service”
(Refer to Page 9).
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
that incorporate tie rods for anchoring, or on standard fittings within
90° of each other. For more information refer to Tech Data Sheet
TFP1880.

‡ Proper hole preparation is required for effective sealing and performance. Check
the pipe seal surface within 5/8” of the hole to be certain it is free from conditions
which would affect proper gasket sealing. Remove any sharp or rough edges
from the hole or upper housing contact area that might affect assembly, proper
seating of the locating collar or flow from the outlet. Check gasket grade to be
certain it is suitable for the service. For crosses, ensure double outlet holes are
aligned on opposite sides of the pipe. The use of threaded products other than
steel pipe, such as dry pendants, etc. may not be compatible with the female
threaded outlet on the Mechanical Tee. Always confirm compatibility by contacting
Tyco Fire & Building Products.

Rigid Couplings
Rigid Couplings provide rigid gripping of the pipe. They are de-
signed 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.
Flexible Couplings
Rotational Movement
Grinnell Flexible Couplings are suitable for use in seismic as well as
other applications. The inherent capability of the flexible coupling
to allow for linear movement, angular deflection, and rotational
movement, make it an excellent choice for reducing stresses in a
piping system.
For mining applications where pipe needs to be rotated, the sys-
tem should be depressurized. The pipe couplings bolts/nuts can
be loosened, pipe rotated and the bolts/nuts re-tightened and the
system restored to service.
Linear Movement
Upon system pressurization, each pipe end within the flexible cou-
plings will expand to the maximum published value. The coupling
keys make contact with the face of the groove and restrain the
joint. In piping systems, this movement will be accumulative.

For design purposes, the maximum pipe end gap should be re-
duced to account for field practices as follows:
Therefore the following values should be used as available pipe end
movements for Grinnell Figure 705 and 716 Flexible Couplings:
Angular Movement
System movement can be accommodated by providing for suffi-
cient offset lengths. Temperature increases/decreases can further
increase this movement.
When systems are anchored with partially deflected joints, the sys-
tem can move to the fully deflected condition upon pressurization
resulting in the “snaking” of the piping system. Light weight hang-
ers may not be suitable to prevent the lateral motion.
Angular Deflection
Grinnell Flexible Couplings are capable of accommodating angular
deflection.
The deflection published is a maximum value. For design purposes
the maximum deflection should be reduced to account for field
practices as shown:

Expansion / Contraction
Grinnell Flexible Couplings are capable of accommodating pipe
movements provided they are properly gapped and a sufficient quan-
tity of flexible couplings are used. Note that flexible couplings will not
accommodate both full maximum linear movement and the maximum
available angular deflection concurrently at the same joint.
Thermal Movement 1 of 4
The following guidelines are similar to any expansion joint: It is rec-
ommended that anchors be installed at changes of direction on the
pipelines to control the pipe movement. The thermal expansion / con-
traction in the piping system can be accommodated utilizing Grinnell
Flexible Couplings. In designing anchoring systems, it is suggested
that the following be taken into consideration as a minimum:
• Pressure thrusts
• Frictional resistance of any guides or supports
• Centrifugal thrust due to velocity at changes of direction
• Activation force required to compress or expand a flexible coupling
Three methods are available as examples to accommodate thermal
expansion/contraction:
1) Design the system with rigid couplings and place expansion
joints at the proper locations. Expansion joints may be a series of
flexible grooved couplings of a sufficient quantity to accommodate
the movement.

2) Design the system with flexible and/or rigid couplings and allow
the pipe to move in directions desired, with the use of anchors and
guides if so required. With this method, it is important to ensure
that movement at branch connections, changes of direction, equip-
ment hookup, etc., will not cause damage or harmful stresses.
3) Design the system with flexible couplings utilizing the expansion/
contraction capabilities of these products. The following example
illustrates this method:
• 6 inch Schedule 40 Steel Pipe, Roll Grooved, 150 foot long,
anchored at each end.
• Maximum Temperature = 200°F
• Minimum Temperature = 40°F
• Install Temperature = 80°F

Thermal Movement 3 of 4
To calculate the number of couplings required in this example to com-
pensate for the Thermal Expansion and Contraction of the pipe:
1) Thermal Contraction: Utilize the Thermal Expansion Table. Allowance
for installation temperature to the minimum temperature, in this case
80°F to 40°F is calculated as:
80°F = 0.61 inches per 100 feet
40°F = 0.30 inches per 100 feet
Difference = 0.31 inch per 100 feet
For 150 feet of pipe = 0.31 inch x 1.5 = 0.47 inch per 150 feet)
2) Thermal Expansion: Utilize the Thermal Expansion Table. Allowance
for installation temperature to the minimum temperature, in this case
80°F to 200°F is calculated as:
200°F = 1.52 inches per 100 feet
80°F = 0.61 inch per 100 feet
Difference = 0.91 inch per 100 feet
For 150 feet of pipe = 0.91 inch x 1.5 = 1.36 inches per 150 feet
3) Couplings Required: Available linear movement for a 6 inch Figure
705 Flexible Coupling on roll grooved pipe = 0.094 inch per coupling.
a) Fully Butted Together for Contraction Only
Therefore the number of flexible Figure 705 Couplings required:
0.47 inch / 0.094 inch per coupling = 5.0
Use 5 Figure 705 Couplings for pipe contraction.
