GemLock™ Short Pattern Grooved Fittings are designed to Fire Protection Industry standards and sized to improve flow. These Short Pattern Fittings are made of durable, high-strength ductile iron conforming to ASTM A536, with every lot metallurgically tested for compliance. Pressure Ratings of GemLock™ Grooved Short fittings are tested to a maximum operating pressure of 300 PSI*.
*Maximum pressure includes surges and maximum end loads from all internal and external forces, to which a joint could be subject under normal working conditions. This rating provides a nominal safety factor of 1.5 times working pressure based on standard weight steel pipe. Maximum working pressure may be subjected to a one-time field test of 1.5 times the figures indicated.
