GRUVLOK FIG 257 Structural Tee Slide Assembly, Forged steel

Anvil FIG 257 structural tee slide assembly is engineered for supporting piping where horizontal movement due to contraction and expansion takes place, and a low friction coefficient is required.

Features:

• This tee slide assembly features a base and tee made of carbon steel for shock resistance and PTFE-bonded slide plates for handling high axial loads.
• It is designed to reduce heat loss while allowing insulation up to 3 inches on Types 1, 2, 4 & 5 and up to 2-1/2 inches on Types 3 & 6.
• It comes with plain / painted / hot-dip galvanised finish for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
• It can be operated at temperatures up to 750 degrees F.

Standards and Approvals:

• Federal Specification A-A-1192A (Type 35)
• ANSI/MSS SP-69
• MSS SP-58 (Type 35)

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How is Anvil FIG 257 structural tee slide assembly installed?

A. This tee slide assembly features a base plate having mounting holes for easy and secure installation.

Q. What safety precautions should I take while using Gruvlok fittings?

A.

• Check pipe ends for proper grooved dimensions and make sure that the pipe is free of indentations, projections or other flaws that would prevent the gasket from sealing properly.
• Apply a thin layer of compatible lubricant or can consider Gruvlok lubruicant to the exterior surface and seal the gasket's lips. In some cases, the entire gasket surface must be lubricated.
• Ensure that no foreign particles stick to lubricated surfaces.

Q. How often should structural tee slide assemblies be inspected or maintained?

A. Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper functionality and detect any signs of wear or corrosion. Maintenance intervals depend on factors such as usage, environmental exposure and load conditions.
