 History
Shurjoint started producing grooved couplings in
1974, initially as an OEM manufacturer then
moving to direct sales in the early ‘90s.
Foundry production was converted to ductile
iron in the 80’s, which is now standard material
for grooved products with superior properties in
precision casting and strength.
For gaskets we use EPDM - a rubber elastomer
compound that offers a service life equal to or
Commercial Residential Healthcare Storage
greater than that of carbon steel pipe. EPDM is an
ideal gasket material for grooved piping systems.
Our mission is to supply the highest quality products to
customers worldwide through distributors as well as
OEM accounts.
We continuously invest in research, engineering and
development, resulting in innovative products and new
solutions for the changing needs of our industry.

 Breadth of product line

Shurjoint has developed and currently offers over 3,300 individual piping
components in sizes from ½” to 104”, for use with a variety of piping
materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, ductile iron and HDPE.

What is a Groove?

|
 Types of Grooves

2 - Types of Grooves:
Rolled – The wall of the pipe is pressed between two dies, which

physically deforms the wall; resulting in the grooved shape

Cut – The wall of the pipe is cut along its outside diameter, which

removes material from the wall; resulting in the grooved shape

|
Roll vs. Cut

|
 Roll Groove

• Place pipe between a roll set

• Rotate and compress pipe

|
Rigid and Flexible Couplings

|
 Rigid vs. Flexible

Rigid Flexible
Where rigidity is desired: Where flexibility is desired:
• Risers • At or near pumps and
equipment
• Mains
• Distribution • Can be substituted for flex
connectors
• Hangs like a welded • To substitute in lieu of
system expansion joints (hangers
and guides required)
• At elbows on flexible loop

 What Makes a Coupling Flexible?

The coupling is designed to “float” without shoulder or key

contact on the pipe

|
 What Makes a Coupling Flexible?

Flexible Couplings
Provides Angular Deflection Provides Expansion & Contraction

Misalignment

|
 Vibration absorption

Provides Vibration and

Noise Attenuation
Eliminating Flex Connectors:

The use of a minimum of 3

SHURJOINT flexible couplings used in
close proximity to the source of
vibration will provide equal or better
vibration attenuation performance than
that of expensive flexible connectors.
The transmission of vibration will be
further reduced with the use of
additional SHURJOINT couplings,
whether flexible or rigid, throughout the
system.
|
 Expansion & Contraction

Couplings need to be treated as

expansion joints if they are used for
that purpose

Need to be properly gapped:

1. Butted for thermal pipe contraction

2. Gapped for thermal expansion

3. Set for proper position at installation

temperature
