5. 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.

6. Welded and Flanged Construction
Labor 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

7. Victaulic Total System Construction
Labor 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.

11. Worldwide Approvals

12. 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 !!!!

13. No Hot Works

14. Flexible and Rigid Joints

15. 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

16. Rigid Coupling’s Are Stronger Than
Welded Joints

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

18. Flexible Coupling’s Used For Deflection

19. 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.

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

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

22. Seismic Stress Absorption
•Full engagement of the
housing keys in the
grooves provides pressure
restraint and end load
capability

23. Seismic Performance

24. 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.

25. 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)

26. Cut Grooving

27. 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

28. Gaskets
