Threading & Grooving

At Hemway Steel, our threading and grooving services are performed using precision machinery and tooling to meet exact tolerances. We accommodate custom thread patterns, lengths, and groove types to suit your project’s specific needs.

 

Pipe Threading Services:

NPT (National Pipe Thread)–standard for many mechanical and plumbing systems

BSP (British Standard Pipe) threading available upon request

Available for pipe sizes from½”up to12”and larger depending on specifications

Threads are cleaned and inspected for consistency and usability

 

Pipe Grooving Services:

Roll grooving for standard wall pipe (Sch. 10 to Sch. 40)

Cut grooving for heavier wall or specialty pipe

Grooves compatible with industry-standard couplings and fittings

Available for a wide range of diameters and materials

All pipe is carefully inspected after threading or grooving to ensure accurate cuts, clean finishes, and proper fitment.

Threaded and grooved pipe systems offer several advantages over traditional welded systems:

Faster installation–No welding or heat required

Simplified maintenance–Easy disassembly and repair

Lower installation costs–Reduced labor and safety requirements

Consistent performance–Reliable joints with tested pressure ratings

 

These benefits make pipe threading and grooving ideal for projects requiring speed, flexibility, or modular system design.

Pipe threading is the process of cutting threads into the end of a pipe to create a secure, tight connection with other threaded components such as couplings, elbows, or valves. This technique is commonly used in plumbing, gas lines, water distribution, and mechanical systems, especially where disassembly and reassembly may be needed.

 

Hemway Steel offers threading services for a wide range of steel pipe types and sizes. We ensure that each thread is clean, precise, and compliant with industry standards, ensuring that your piping systems perform as intended.

Pipe grooving is a mechanical process that creates a circumferential groove near the end of a pipe. This groove is used with mechanical couplings to form a secure, pressure-rated connection without the need for welding or threading. Grooved pipe systems are commonly used in fire protection, HVAC, and industrial piping applications.

 

We offer both roll grooving and cut grooving, depending on your pipe's wall thickness, material, and system requirements. Our grooving services are fast, accurate, and compatible with a wide range of grooved fittings and couplings.

Our pipe threading and grooving services support a wide variety of industries and applications. Whether you're installing a new mechanical system or upgrading an existing one, we provide pipe prepared exactly to your specifications for easy installation.
