Support beth pipe lengths securely. Pipe support shall be maintained throughout the entire installation procedure. ‘= A thin coat of a compatible lubricant shall be applied to the gasket sealing lips, gasket exterior, and the interior surface of each coupling housing to help prevent the gasket from pinching, rolling, or tearing during instal Failure to use a compatible lubricant may cause gasket damage, resulting in jo leakage and property damage. 2a. CHECK GASKET: Check the gasket to verify that itis sutable for the intended service. The color code identifies the material grade. For complete compatibility information, reference Victaulic publications 05.01 and GSG-100, which can be downloaded at victaulic.com. 2b. LUBRICATE GASKET AND HOUSINGS: Apply a thin coat of a compatible lubricant, Victaulic Lubricant or silicone grease, to the gasket sealing lios, gasket exterior, and the Interior surface of both coupling housings (slicone spray is not a compatible lubricant 3, POSITION GASKET: Position the gasket over the prepared pipe end, Verity that no portion of the gasket overhangs the prepared pipe end. 4, JOIN PREPARED PIPE ENDS: Align the centerlines of the two prepared pipe ends and bring them to within the appropriate pipe-end separation dimension, Slide the gasket into position and center it between the groove in each prepared pipe end. Verify that the gasket does ‘not extend into the groove of either prepared pipe fend at any point throughout the installation, The gasket shall fit snug to the prepared pipe ends. 'No gapsisags shall be present between the gasket sealing lips and outside diameter of the repared pipe ends. cm |) 4 5, LUBRICATE BOLT THREADS: A\ the time of harciare installation, apply a thin coat of Victaulic Lubricant or equivalent bolt thread lubricant to the bolt threads, as indicated above. NOTE: If stainless steel hardware is special ordered, apply an anti-selze ‘compound to the bal threads in the same manner indicated above ADVANCED GROOVE SYSTEM (AGS) COUPLINGS \fetau ic FOR DIRECT-GROOVED PIPE OR AGS VIC-RING APPLICATIONS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS REV_H 1-100_195‘Verify that the gasket does not become rolled or pinched while installing the housings. Failure to follow this instruction could cause damage to the gasket, resulting in ipint leakage. 6a. INSTALL HOUSINGS: Install the housings over the gasket. Verify that the housings’ keys completely engage the graove in each prepared pipe end. Maintain support of the housings while preparing to install the lubricated bolts and nuts, 6b. INSTALL BOLTS/NUTS: Install the lubricated bolts, and thread a nut ento each bolt NOTE: Verify that the oval neck of each bolt seats properly in the boll hole. ‘OVAL NECK OF BOLT ‘OVAL NECK OF BOLT ‘SEATED PROPERLY NOT SEATED PROPERLY 7. TIGHTEN NUTS: Tighten the nuts evenly by alternating sides, maintaining nearly Uniform bolt pad geps during tightening. Continue to tighten the nuts evenly by alternating sides until metal-to-metal bolt pad contact AND the specified torque value are achieved. Refer to the applicable "Required Torque” and “Helpful Information” tables fn the folowing page. NOTE: Its important to tighten the nuts evenly by alternating sides to prevent gasket pinching. Deep-well sockets are required for proper installation due to the longer bolt lengths associated with these couplings, ‘TO PREVENT LUBRICATION FROM DRYING OUT AND CAUSING GASKET PINCHING, ALWAYS BRING THE BOLT PADS INTO METAL-TO-METAL CONTACT IMMEDIATELY AFTER ASSEMBLING THE COUPLING ONTO THE PREPARED PIPE ENDS. TING ‘Nuts shal be tightened evenly by alternating sides, maintaining nearly uniform bolt pad gaps, until both conditions of meta-to-metal bolt pad contact AND the specified torque value are achieved. ‘Always bring the bolt pads into meta-to-metal contact immediately after assembling the coupling onto prepared pipe ends. Keep hands away from coupling openings during tightening. Failure to follow instructions for tightening coupling hardware could result in: ‘+ Excessive bolt torque required to assemble the joint (incomplete assembly) ‘© Bolt damage or fracture ‘= Joint leakage and property damage ‘+ A negative impact on system integrity + Personal injury or death \ferau ic ADVANCED GROOVE SYSTEM (AGS) COUPLINGS: (= FOR DIRECT-GROOVED PIPE OR AGS VIC-RING 1-100_196 APPLICATIONS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS REV_H8.
