No-Flame, No-Fumes

  • The no-flame alternative to welding allows for faster installation and safer environments by reducing hazardous and noxious fumes and reducing overall man hours on a project.

Improved Air Quality

  • Victaulic couplings reduce the emissions of Particulate Matter (PMs) on the job site. Particulate Matter has a harmful effect on the environment and on health.

Zero Incremental Electrical Energy Required

  • There’s no need for electricity and no draw on the power grid. Welding or soldering can use up to 4,000 watts per hour on an eight-inch joint. Grooved mechanical joints use none.

Eliminate Jobsite Rework

  • Visual inspection allows for quick verification of proper installation and therefore virtually eliminates the re-work associated with welding. The industry standard for estimated weld rework is 5–6%.

Installation

Victaulic products significantly reduce or eliminate
waste, emissions and noise pollution during installation

During installation and maintenance activities, mechanical grooved piping systems significantly reduce or eliminate waste, emissions and noise pollution on the jobsite providing a safer and healthier environment. Grooved systems employ a proven roll grooving process to join piping, valves and other components. Using a simple two-bolt coupling design, pipe fitters can make rugged, secure joints quickly and easily using only basic hand tools. And with a union at every joint, they have maximum flexibility for on-site decision making. All couplings are sealed for optimum integrity with a durable elastomeric gasket designed to withstand years of sustained high compressive and cyclical loads.
