Victaulic Couplings

The Original Grooved Coupling System.

Grooved Pipe Joining Technology. How does it work?

The groove is cold formed or machined into the pipe end using a grooving tool. The coupling housings, fully surrounding a gasket, are assembled around two grooved pipe ends, and the key sections of the housings engage into the grooves. The bolts and nuts are tightened with a socket wrench or impact wrench.

Types of grooved couplings:

• Flexible coupling - allows for controlled linear and angular movement, which accommodates pipeline deflection as well as thermal expansion and contraction.
• Rigid coupling - does not allow for movement, similar to a flanged or welded joint. 

       

 

Installation Ready Couplings:

LUBE IT - PUSH IT - JOIN IT - TIGHTEN IT. 

 

Victaulic Grooved End Piping Systems provide:

At the core of all of the benefits that Victaulic® solutions bring to a project - such as productivity, safety, design flexibility & quality - are the unique features of our products.

• Easy system maintenance and expansion through simple coupling disassembly that allows for easy access.

• Alignment ease through a design that allows for full rotation of the pipe and system components before tightening.

 

• Flexibility with the inherent axial movement and deflection properties of flexible couplings in a groove system. May be used to accommodate pipeline thermal expansion and contraction, misalignment and settlement, and seismic stresses

• Noise and vibration attenuation by isolating the transference of vibration at each joint.

• Self restrained pipe joints couplings engage the pipe grooves to hold the pipes against full pressure thrust loads without the need for supplemental restraints.

• Rigidity with an angled bolt pad design that provides positive clamping of the pipe to resist torsional and flexural loads.
