An annular gasket for a fitting assembly includes a gasket inner surface defining a gasket void and a central rib extending radially inward into the gasket void, a gasket axis extending centrally through the gasket void; a gasket outer surface defining a first gasket shoulder extending radially outward at a first axial end of the annular gasket and a second gasket shoulder extending radially outward at a second axial end of the annular gasket opposite the first axial end; a first sealing ridge extending radially inward at the first axial end of the annular gasket; and a second sealing ridge extending radially inward at the second axial end of the annular gasket, wherein the central rib is positioned axially between the first sealing ridge and the second.

A hooked pipe coupling includes a first pipe coupling segment comprising a first arcuate body portion defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first hook extending from the first end, and a first fastener lug extending from the second end, the first arcuate body portion defining a first sloped ledge surface; and a second pipe coupling segment comprising a second arcuate body portion defining a third end and a fourth end opposite the third end, a second hook extending from the third end, and a second fastener lug extending from the fourth end, the second arcuate body portion defining a second sloped ledge surface; wherein the first sloped ledge surface presses against the second sloped ledge surface in a tightened configuration of the hooked pipe coupling to prevent axial movement of the first pipe coupling segment relative to the second pipe coupling segment.

A pipe fitting is disclosed that can be configured for engagement with a coupling. The coupling can include a first ridge and a second ridge opposite the first ridge, and can define a coupling bore extending from the first ridge to the second ridge. A cap can extend into the coupling bore of the coupling. A gasket can be positioned within the coupling and can include: a first sealing ridge disposed proximate the first ridge; a second sealing ridge disposed proximate the second ridge opposite the first ridge; and a central ridge defining a pair of ribs extending radially inward from the central ridge.

An adjustable drop includes an inner casing, the inner casing comprising: a distal end; a proximal end opposite the distal end, the proximal end comprising a shouldered segment; and a threaded segment between the distal end and the proximal end, the threaded segment starting at the shouldered segment and extending along the inner casing towards the distal end, the shouldered segment defining an outer radius that is greater than an outer radius of the threaded segment; and an outer casing surrounding the inner casing, the inner casing and the outer casing including corresponding threading to permit rotation between the inner casing and the outer casing to adjust an axial height, along a lengthwise axis of the adjustable drop, of the inner casing.

A support assembly comprises a hub slidably coupled to a crossbar to support a sprinkler. A pair of opposed clip assemblies comprising a frame and a bracket couple the crossbar to the ceiling channel on either side. The frame comprises an opening that supports one end of the crossbar, a skirt with an elongated slot, and a leg that extends over the channel. The bracket couples to the frame to lock the clip assembly on the ceiling channel. The bracket comprises a ridge at one edge and a flange at an opposite edge. The ridge is configured to couple to a sidewall of the ceiling channel, and the flange is configured for a user to compress and tighten the bracket. A pair of opposing clamps on either side of the bracket ensures that the frame is securely coupled to the ceiling channel.

A pipe groover can include a base assembly; a spindle plate secured to the base assembly but configured to rotate about an axis with respect to the base assembly; and a plurality of roller assemblies secured to the spindle plate, each of the roller assemblies including a pair of rollers configured to form a groove in a pipe proximate to an end of the pipe.

Disclosed example pipe couplings include: a coupling body having a first coupling segment and a second coupling segment, the first coupling segment having a first lug on a first end and the second coupling segment having a second lug opposite the first lug; a first fastener mounted to the coupling body via the first and second lugs and configured to tighten the pipe coupling; and a first installation indicator on the first lug and arranged to overlap a first indicator face of the second lug as the pipe coupling is tightened, wherein the first installation indicator is in a predetermined alignment with a first counter indicator on the second lug when the pipe coupling is correctly-tightened and is not in the predetermined alignment with the first counter indicator when the pipe coupling is under tightened.

A pivot clip includes a substantially planar body defining an outside edge and an inside edge opposite the outside edge, the inside edge partially defining a notch; and a pair of arms extending from the inside edge, the notch formed between the pair of arms, the pair of arms angled relative to the substantially planar body such that the pair of arms are noncoplanar with the substantially planar body.

A lock tab washer for a pipe hanger includes a washer body; an edge tab defining a first section and a second section, wherein the first section extends from the washer body and the second section is bent relative to the first section in a first direction; and first, second, and third nut tabs extending from the washer body, wherein each of the first, second, and third nut tabs are bent relative to the washer body in a second direction opposite the first direction.

A fitting includes a fitting body defining a hole; and an indicator assembly comprising a fastener extending through the hole, a first indicator mounted on the fastener, and a second indicator mounted on the fastener, the fastener defining a fastener axis; wherein the second indicator is axially in between the first indicator and the fitting body upon the fastener being oriented in a first position, and wherein the second indicator is radially inwardly or radially outwardly of the first indicator upon the fastener being oriented in a second position.
