 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 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
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.
 Innovator of Grooved Piping

Worldwide Approvals
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 Couplings Are Stronger Than
Welded Joints
 Flexibility
Accommodates
expansion -
contraction -
deflection
Can design the
piping system to take
advantage of these
features
Flexible Couplings 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 42
(20 mm - 1050 mm)

Wall thickness up to
(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
