It’s probably half of the weight. I order GxG OS&Y valves all the time and there are no lead times.

Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you KNOW the content is safe. If you’re in earthquake country, grooved offers an inherently better-protected suction main, but it would take an almost cataclysmic event to test that admittedly. We’ve pretty much gone to grooved as the preferred joining method throughout our protected environments. The compounds used to make the rubbers, the near-elimination of human error potential with regard to lubricants, positioning, proper closure, high to very-high pressure ratings, all make it a pretty reliable (and much faster as you say) joining method.

OS&Y valves typically came FxF and hence the suction side fittings would all be flanged. Grooved OS&Y is becoming more popular… That being said, I have yet to see a pump with grooved inlets and outlets. Pros to all grooved are they are quicker to install. Pros to all flanged is they create a more stable/sturdy connection.

Please take care when clicking links or opening attachments. I’ve seen two schools of thought with regard to pump suction components. One way is flanged on the suction side and grooved on the discharge. The other is all grooved. I can; t see where NFPA-20 requires it either way. What’s the popular choice and are there pro’s & cons?
