What Is Victaulic ?

• Victaulic is an alternative method of joining pipe with a faster installation and lower installed costs over traditional piping systems, IE: Welded, Flanged, or Threaded.

Welded and Flanged ConstructionLabor Material Cost Ratio

Labor Material 70% 30%

• Labor is the least accurate cost or the highest risk - it usually is a best guesstimate

• Material cost is the most accurate cost or the lowest risk

Victaulic Total System ConstructionLabor Material Cost Ratio

Labor Material 30% 70%

• Since labor represents your highest risk, you can reduce your risk by as much as 40% by transferring as much labor risk as possible to the lower risk material side of costs.

Advantages Over Conventional Systems

• Total Installed Cost Savings• Union at Every Joint• High Pressure Capabilities• Fast & Clean• No HOT WORKS• Ease of alignment• Less Re-work $$$• Ease of Maintenance• Less Labour Needed on Site• Safe !!!!

No Hot Works

Flexible and Rigid Joints

Rigidity

•Rigidity is achieved with standard couplings•Angled bolt pad design of s/07 provides positive clamping of the pipe•Resists torsional and flexural loads

Rigid Coupling’s Are Stronger Than Welded Joints

Flexibility

•Accommodates expansion - contraction - deflection•Can design the piping system to take advantage of these features

Flexible Coupling’s Used For Deflection

Allows for System Access and Expansion

•Provides easy access for maintenance or system access.•Victaulic butterfly valves provide dead-end shut-off to isolate equipment.

Alignment Ease

•Grooved system allows full rotation of the pipe and system components.•Allows for ease of proper alignment.

Noise and Vibration Attenuation•Independent grooved pipe sections reduce noise and vibration transmission

Seismic Stress Absorption

•Full engagement of the housing keys in the grooves provides pressure restraint and end load capability

Seismic Performance

Roll Grooving• Grooves are formed

primarily by roll grooving (cold forming) a groove into the pipe.

• No removal of metal.– Full wall thickness is

maintained.

• Clean, Fast ,Simple and No Hot Work.

Roll Grooving Tools • Pipes can be grooved

in the shop or in the job site

• Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Copper, Aluminum & PVC

• Pipe Sizes ¾ – 42” (20 mm - 1050 mm)

• Wall thickness up to ½” (12.7 mm)

Cut Grooving

Gaskets

•Victaulic manufactures our own gaskets•C- Shaped gasket forms a triple seal

–between the pipe ends and the groove–surrounded, reinforced and slightly compressed by the housing–enhanced by pressure or vacuum in the line

Gaskets
