Victaulic fittings: Types & Materials: Victaulic offers a wide range of fittings, including elbows, tees, reducers, and caps, typically made from carbon steel, stainless steel, ductile iron, copper, and PVC. Grooved Connection: The system uses a gasket that seals against the pipe and a coupling that fits into a groove, which can be cut or rolled into the pipe end. Rigid vs. Flexible: Fittings and couplings are available in both rigid (limits pipe movement) and flexible (allows for movement) designs to accommodate seismic activity, vibration, and thermal movement. Key Applications: Used extensively for water treatment, mining, fire protection, oil & gas, and industrial piping. Benefits: Reduced Labor: Faster installation time compared to welding or flanging. Safety: Flame-free, cold-joining method. Maintenance: Easy to disassemble for system modifications. Sizes: Available for pipe diameters ranging from to over 24 inches.
