Additional copies of installation information are available from Victaulic, or Victaulic
stocking distributors, upon request.
Always follow good piping practices. Specified pressures, temperatures, external loads,
internal loads, performance standards, and tolerances must never be exceeded.
Many applications require recognition of special conditions, code requirements, and the
use of safety factors. Qualified engineers should reference Section 26 of the Victaulic
General Catalog (G-100) and Victaulic publication 05.01, “Gasket Selection Guide,” when
determining requirements for special applications.

Victaulic grooved pipe couplings are designed for use only with pipe that is grooved to
meet Victaulic specifications. In addition, Victaulic grooved pipe couplings are for use
only with Victaulic grooved-end fittings, valves, and related grooved-end components.
Victaulic grooved pipe couplings are not intended for use with plain-end pipe and/or
fittings.
Victaulic plain-end pipe couplings are designed for use only with plain-end or beveled-
end steel pipe and Victaulic plain-end fittings, unless indicated otherwise. Victaulic plain-
end pipe couplings must not be used with grooved-end or threaded pipe and/or fittings.
Gaskets for Victaulic grooved and plain-end pipe couplings must be lubricated for proper
assembly. Lubrication prevents gasket pinching and assists installation. A thin coat
of Victaulic Lubricant or another compatible material, such as silicone or soap-based
lubricants, is required. Always refer to the specific coupling installation instructions for
complete lubrication requirements.
