Piping. Systems. Solutions.

ProvenreliabilityWhat describes a reliable piping system? Most installers and designers would describe a piping system that performs without fail for the life of the system.

We would agree. Victaulic systems that were installed in the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s are still in service today. Designed for life-of-the-system service Victaulic joining systems provide reliable joints that meet the demands of your most rigorous, and routine, piping needs.

Victaulic — the standard for mechanical pipe joining systems

What started as a faster, easier method for getting water and fuel to troops on the front lines in World War I was quickly adapted and applied to water and wastewater treatment piping systems.

Product innovations developed by Victaulic are designed to reduce the effort and challenges associated with pipe joining systems. Reliable, easy-to-install systems provide piping designers with flexible and rigid mechanical joints that requires less space while providing a union at every joint for easy system access.

Ranging from ½"/15 mm to 144"/3650 mm, Victaulic creates pipe joining solutions designed to address the challenges you face every day.

BenefitsofthegroovedsystemThe Victaulic grooved system for joining pipe is three to five times faster to install than welding and is easier and more reliable than threading or flanging pipe resulting in less installation time and easier replacement of piping components.

Plus, our new line of installation-ready couplings is twice as fast as existing groove couplings. With no loose parts to disassemble the coupling quickly stabs on to the pipe to create the most efficient joint on the market today.

Faster, Easier Installations

Lower total installed cost

“Over 1000 feet of plant effluent water piping needed to be replaced several years ago. The 30 inch diameter pipe with numerous taps snaked through our pipe galleries from one end of the plant to the other. This line is critical, since it provides water to our air pollution controls on the sludge incinerators. The plant was only able to shutdown the system for 48 hours at a time. The grooved connections allowed the contractor to install the system without difficulty during these limited shutdown periods.”

Benefitsthatsavetimeandconservevaluableresources

What’s more important—faster installation for new projects or access for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on existing systems? What if there was a pipe joining method that filled both needs?

Using the Victaulic grooved system is 3 to 5 times faster than competitive pipe joining methods on initial installations. For on-going maintenance simple removal of two bolts rather than the eight bolts found on flanged systems reduces downtime by up to 75%.

IncREASED SAVInGS

How much does each day of installing a piping project cost in direct and in-direct costs? How much money would you save by reducing the project schedule by one day, one week or one month? Only Victaulic mechanical pipe joining systems are designed specifically to reduce installation time and costs.

DESIGn VERSATILITY

With a variety of joining methods for piping—from carbon steel, ductile iron, aluminum, copper, HDPE, PVC, to stainless steel—Victaulic is unmatched in the design versatility it offers users. With rigid and flexible joints for systems from ½"/15 mm up to 144"/3650 mm only one supplier has the products and systems to meet your piping needs.

PROjEcT MAnAGEMEnT

Pre-planning a project leads to more effective and efficient use of resources. The Construction Piping Services group at Victaulic is dedicated to organizing and managing your piping project for reduced material handling and faster project installations.


Victaulic

Flanged

Victaulic

Flanged

PIPInG GALLERIES

Piping galleries are a special challenge for flanged systems. On top of the challenges of piping through-the-wall flanged systems are difficult to position closely together because of the size and weight of the flange.

Grooved systems reduce the weight and space required for piping galleries. Couplings can be oriented in any direction to make installations faster, easier and more efficient.

GROOVED EnD VALVES

Flanged valves typically weigh up to 1/3 more than grooved end valves often creating a need for special handling equipment. Valve maintenance and plant downtime is greatly reduced for valves using grooved couplings. Less bolts and no need to replace the gasket contributes to reducing downtime for maintenance by up to 75%.

PIPE PREPARATIOn TOOLS

Pipe preparation tools from Victaulic are available for all types of piping systems. From ductile iron to carbon steel and stainless steel systems, Victaulic grooving tools are the best way to prepare pipe for grooved couplings.

The easy to operate line of Victaulic tools range from field grooving tools to high production fab shop groovers.

Through-the-wall installations present a special design challenge. For flanged systems either a loose made-on flange or a flanged coupling adapter will be needed and the flanges will need to be mated or “two-holed”.

Grooved systems pass through wall sleeves without any special needs. Since couplings can be rotated 360º during installation there are no special couplings or “two-holing” required greatly simplifying through-the wall-installations.

Groovedvs.Flanged

When installing a piping system are you better off using two nuts and bolts or eight nuts and bolts? We believe that installing only two nuts and bolts greatly reduces the chances of installation errors while increasing productivity.

What about maintaining a grooved system versus a flanged system? Again you have 75% fewer nuts and bolts, and the added benefit of reusing the gasket when reinstalling a grooved coupling. With flanges you’ll need to completely scrape away the old gasket and replace it with a brand new gasket.


Project Management“The Victaulic grooved system enables quick and easy assembly/disassembly, as compared to conventional flanged systems, of our critical piping systems reducing time and labour requirements. We would recommend Victaulic grooved piping for any Waste Water System as access to process piping is essential to a well maintained plant with minimal downtime.”

PIPInG PROjEcT AcTIVITIES

Style 31 couplings are designed to join radius cut grooved ANSI/AWWA C151/A21.51 class 53 or higher pipe. The coupling housings seat in a rigid radius groove that is cut into the outer diameter (OD) of the pipe. A synthetic rubber gasket seals the joint and is the only component exposed to the media. Couplings are compatible with cement, glass, epoxy and other pipe linings.

Victaulic installation-ready couplings use the same groove profile and have the same performance characteristics of original groove system couplings. The major difference is installation time. Installing up to 90% faster than welded systems and in 50% less time than standard groove couplings, installation-ready couplings eliminate the need for loose parts since the coupling is pre-assembled and ready to install.

Utilizing a patented, wedge shape groove the AGS line has a working pressure up to 350 psi/2400 kPa. The two-piece coupling housing design reduces handling making installation and maintenance up to 50% faster than competing systems.

The re-usable PVC Aquamine piping system is a fast, reliable way to join PVC pipe without the use of messy solvents or threading. The spline system provides reliable service up to 350 psi/2400 kPa. The complete system includes pipe, couplings, valves and fittings.


Design VersatilityNo other manufacturer has the versatility and range of joining solutions that Victaulic offers installers. From grooved to plain end solutions for pipe ranging from ductile iron to carbon steel, stainless steel, HDPE and PVC plastic, Victaulic continues to develop faster, easier pipe joining systems.

Aquamine Systems

Visit www.victaulic.com to view publication 50.01 for more information about Aquamine products

In Perth, Australia, Aquamine was used by WA Water Corporation as a temporary sewer bypass allowing for refurbishment of a main underground DICL line to be carried out without disrupting this critical utility service. Due to the location of the bypass which is less than 100M from the Swan River, it provided an environmentally safe method of bypass without the need for HDPE fusion machines.

The Aquamine system is a complete line of impact resistant, reusable pipe fittings, valves and specialty items. Made of PVC, it is rust-free and lightweight making it ideal in situations where pipe sections must be carried to remote locations.

No special pipe end preparation is required and once the coupling is installed you have visual verification of proper installation. The system provides a union at every joint for easy maintenance and/or system expansions.

With sizes from 2 – 20"/50 – 500 mm, HDPE plain end couplings are stronger than the pipe they join. A flange adapter is available to allow for easy transition from equipment to the piping system and a transition coupling can join HDPE to steel piping.


HDPE Systems

The Blue River Wastewater Treatment Plant in Kansas City, Missouri chose to install the Victaulic HDPE system on a 4 – 12"/100 – 300 mm wastewater grit system for its ease of maintenance and reduced maintenance cost. Compared to flanging, the HDPE solution improved the construction cycle, lowered labor costs and provided much easier constructability.

Visit www.victaulic.com to view publication 19.02 for Style 995N coupling, 19.03 for Style 997 transition coupling, or 19.04 for Style 994 HDPE flange adapter

Using standard socket wrenches HDPE couplings can be installed in a matter of minutes and make for a cost-effective solution.


Unlike welded systems Vic-Press is environmentally friendly completely eliminating the noxious fumes and hazardous conditions associated with welding. Compared with threading or socket welding of schedule 40S pipe, Vic-Press provides a reliable system that minimizes need for rework and repair while eliminating costly air loss.

Vic-Press systems are ideal for compressed air, plant air, equipment water, sampling lines and a variety of other systems.

Vic-Press for Schedule 10S

Visit www.victaulic.com to view publication 18.11 for Vic-Press 304 and 18.12 for Vic-Press 316.

Vic-Press joins Schedule 10S stainless steel pipe in a matter of seconds. This air system was installed in just a fraction of the time required for welded systems. Since the pipe is not heated during the joining process the metallurgical integrity of the stainless steel system is not compromised.

Vic-Press is a flame-free press system that installs in seconds using off-the-shelf ASTM-312 Schedule 10S stainless steel pipe for ½ – 2"/15 – 50 mm applications. For pressures up to 500 psi/3450 kPa, a complete system of couplings, fittings, valves and tools are available for types 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel.

Victaulic Bolted Split Sleeve couplings provide versatility for a wide range of applications in the wastewater treatment market.

Victaulic Bolted Split Sleeve couplings are designed for pressures up to 400 psi/2750 kPa and sizes up to 144"/3650 mm. There are five basic coupling designs —non-restrained flexible, non-restrained flexible expansion, restrained flexible, restrained flexible with dynamic joint deflection, and restrained flexible single-gasket. Available for carbon steel and stainless steel systems.


bolted Split Sleeve couplings

Victaulic Bolted Split Sleeve couplings in the Hollywood valve vault the LADWP (Los Angeles Department of Water and Power) were able to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in construction costs. Because Bolted Split Sleeve couplings do not require external restraints the overall size of the valve vault could be reduced by about 400 square feet. This translated into less concrete and time needed to complete this project.

Victaulic Bolted Split Sleeve couplings join large diameter pipe using ten bolts and nuts versus the 52 bolts and nuts found on 144"/3650 mm sleeve-type couplings that require star tightening three times to complete the joint.

Where full pipe wall thickness and a smooth inner flow path are requirements the Vic-Ring system is ideal. A ring is mounted to the exterior of the pipe and a coupling seats into the ring to complete the joint. Using 2/3 fewer bolts than flanged systems of the same size Vic-Rings are available for systems as large as 144"/3650 mm.

At the St. Louis Grand Glaize Wastewater Treatment Plant in Missouri, Victaulic Vic-Ring couplings were the ideal application for joining AWWA ductile pipe for the raw sewage system. Vic-Ring couplings provided ease of installation and maintenance.

Victaulic Vic-Ring® multiple segment couplings are used on piping systems where full wall thickness is critical. Designed primarily for use with Vic-Ring adapters the couplings can be used to join systems up to 144"/3650 mm in size.


Pipe Preparation Tools

cUT GROOVInG

AWWA Class 53 and higher pipe can be cut grooved to receive a Victaulic coupling. Victaulic offers cut grooving tools that can be mounted anywhere along the pipe line greatly simplifying maintenance and future expansions as well as initial installations.

ROLL GROOVInG

For carbon and stainless steel piping systems roll grooving is the preferred method of pipe preparation. Victaulic offers a full range of tools to meet your specific grooving needs.

VIc-PRESS TOOL

The revolutionary Vic-Press 304/316 system installs in seconds using a hand-held pressing tool. Once engaged the tool is designed to complete the pressing cycle for complete engagement.

cLOSURE TOOLS

Two types of clamping tools are available for Victaulic Bolted Split Sleeve couplings. Both manual and powered clamping tools hold the coupling in place until the bolts and nuts are fully installed.

Victaulic pipe preparation tools allow for in-shop or in-field fabrication of grooved piping. The Victaulic grooved system is the fastest most reliable piping methodology on the market and with the use of Victaulic tools, you are able to keep your project on track. There is no need to send piping away to a shop to fabricate spool pieces, when you can utilize many of our different tools to prepare pipe on site.

ServiceandSupport

From initial construction review through scheduled inspection dates, a skilled and highly trained Victaulic representative can work directly with your installers.

During each phase of the project fitters are trained by Victaulic representatives on proper installation procedures for a job done right…right from the start.

Dear Mr. Jerlinski:

I have been meaning to send you this letter for some time now to express our pleasure in using the

Victaulic grooved piping system on wastewater and water projects for the past 15 years.

My first experience with the Victaulic system was at the Kiryas Joel wastewater plant in Rockland County

NY. I still remember the call placed to you that we needed six 10” Victaulic 365 plug valves the next day,

low and behold the following morning here comes a minivan practically scraping the pavement into our

jobsite with six 10” plug valves. This is the type of service we have come to and do receive when dealing

with a quality company such as Victaulic. That was the start of a very pleasurable relationship that we

have had with both yourself and Victaulic.

Along with the service you and the other Victaulic reps. show by following up at jobsites as well as the

office has given us a very comfortable feeling. As you are aware we own multiple Victaulic grooving

tools which allow us to fabricate pipe on site which frees us up from having to wait for fabricated pipe

from a foundry, not to mention the man hour labor savings

The piping systems that we have used Victaulic on include stainless steel, ductile iron, copper, carbon

steel and your large diameter joining system Depend-O-Loc couplings.

In closing, our first choice for construction water and wastewater plants continues to be Victaulic. I

would not hesitate to and have recommended the use of your system to Owners for use not only on new

installations but rehabs as well.

Thank You,

Jett Industries
