Grooved mechanical piping systems can offer advantages for buried pipework that make them a superior choice to alternative joining techniques like welding and flanging. Direct buried piping systems were one of the original applications for mechanical couplings and they have been incorporated successfully in buried services for over 95 years. Joining choice Unpredictable conditions can […]
