Fire Fighting Grooved and Threaded Program 1.2

Fire Fighting Grooved and Threaded Program Developer: Tharwat Al Shoufi

The Fire Fighting Grooved and Threaded Program is a specialized tool designed to help fire protection professionals design, verify, and document grooved and threaded piping systems with speed and confidence. Built to support common industry practices and standards (such as NFPA 13), it streamlines component selection, checks compatibility between pipes and fittings, and produces clear, professional reports for submittals and field use.

Key capabilities:

• Grooved piping verification: Confirms groove dimensions and coupling compatibility based on pipe outside diameter, wall thickness, and schedule.
• Threaded joint checks: Supports common thread standards (e.g., NPT) with guidance on allowable sizes and thread engagement.
• Hydraulic assistance: Estimates pressure loss using standard methods and equivalent lengths for typical fittings to aid in preliminary sizing and review.
• Component selection: Helps choose couplings, fittings, valves, and transitions for risers, standpipes, and sprinkler branch lines.
• Error prevention: Flags mismatches in sizes, schedules, and end types to reduce rework and field conflicts.
• Materials and reporting: Generates bills of materials, cut lists, and concise calculation summaries for coordination and submittals.
• Units and formats: Works with US and metric units and supports exporting results to common file formats for sharing and archiving.

Who it’s for:

• Fire protection engineers and designers
• Estimators and detailers
• Contractors and inspectors
• MEP coordinators and project managers

Benefits:

• Improves accuracy and consistency across designs
• Saves time on component selection and documentation
• Reduces change orders by catching compatibility issues early
• Produces clear deliverables suitable for office and field teams
