Ground Energy Systems: Geothermal Heat Pump Fittings
A line of geothermal heat pump piping systems, the Geo-Glide Thin Wall Fittings, features a sweep turn, tapered leading edge, and a ribbed surface. The wall fittings are designed to facilitate the speed and appearance of insulated piping, while also reducing pressure drop for the geothermal fluid. According to the manufacturer, by listening to contractor needs, the company specifically engineered a fitting that is easier to insulate, has a nicer finished look, and leads to a 30 percent reduction in pressure drop.
