It offers fast assembly in tight system, cleaner system with no welding slag, contamination or hot work permit. Grooved piping system offers up to 30% cost saving. Flexible grooved pipe couplings offer the flexiblity needed for vibration dampening or installation in earthquake prone areas. The system is designed to work with rolled or grooved pipes.

It is more reliable than threaded or flanged connection and often results in 2x-4x faster installation. These couplings are sold by nominal pipe sizes and will fit the corresponding nominal pipes ,valves and fittings.Ī grooved coupling or a Victualic style groove coupling has four main components Ī grooved piping system is most versatile, reliable and economical piping system. The maximum ambient temperature for these couplings are 225 deg F (107 deg C) These couplings are FM approved and can be used in underground services. Pipe grooves are made according to ANSI/AWWA C606 specification 'Grooved and Shouldered Joints'. These fittings are rated to 175 psi (1205 kPa) as a minimum. Grooved pipe fittings are limited to use with rolled or cut groove pipe, valve and fittings.

Typical application of grooved fittings are in sprinkler risers, pipe feeds passing from one building area to another, locations prone to earthquakes, in discharge line above pump suction, in air or water fire services lines, piping system subject to excessive vibration, installation in tight spaces or where pipe alignment is difficult. Grooved pipe fittings consists of grooved couplings, grooved fittings, grooved outlets, grooved valves and grooved replacement parts.
