What is the purpose of grooved pipe?
The grooves on both ends of two pipe ends could be joined together with a sprinkler coupling. The grooves in the pipe ensure that the pipes can be securely attached utilizing a sprinkler coupling.
What is a grooved pipe?
Introduction to grooving A grooved mechanical joining of two pipes means that a small groove is made at the end of each pipe with a grooving machine. A rubber gasket is fitted over the two pipe ends and around it a two-part coupling is screwed together with two bolts and nuts.
What is a grooved end fitting?
Grooved end fittings (often referred to as “Victaulic” fittings) are used to join pipes when some amount of flexibility is needed in terms of movement and deflection to the system. This product is available in both Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel.
What is Victaulic pipe used for?
Victaulic pipe connectors are used across various applications including: Potable water piping systems. Hydraulic applications. Moderate and high-pressure applications.
What is groove end?
Grooved mechanical joints or grooved end pipes use a formed or machined groove at the end of the pipe to seat a gasket. A housing around the gasket is then tightened to secure the connection and ensure optimal seal and performance.
How long does it take to groove a pipe?
The pipe can be roll grooved in 30 to 40 seconds per square inch compared to one minute per inch using a cut groove. The roll grooving process also removes the need for cutting oil and the hassle of cleaning up the metal shavings that are removed from the pipe during the cut grooving process.
What is a groove fitting?
Grooved pipe couplings and fittings are used to join and pipes in both wet and dry system. They provided some flexibility in terms of movement and deflection to the piping system. The concept of grooved coupling was invented in 1925 when Victaulic design the first mechanical coupling.
What means Victaulic?
What is a Victaulic or Mechanical Grooved Coupling? Victaulic couplings, or mechanical grooved couplings (also called mechanical pipe joining systems), are components that join mechanical pipes together to create a watertight joint.
