In plumbing or pipefitting what does victaulic be going to?
Answers: This involves the system to join pipes of different properties IE: Steel, iron, copper. Used above all in fire protection systems resembling sprinklers.
It is the brand name of a patented system that uses specially shaped bits that are any formed into or welded on to pipes, usually strictly large pipes, that allow a fitted rubber compression ring to be clamped within place at the joint beside a steel or cast iron fitting, thus joining and seal the connection, while allowing the association to be easily broken for inspection, repair, or to clear clogged lines.
It's usually used contained by industrial settings for non-hazardous, low to mid pressure process piping.
Not generallly used in sprinklers because of the giant pressure involved and the possibility of failure of the rubber stamp during a fire.
Victaulic is the name brand of a pipe connecting system. It have a groove either cut or pressed into the bring to a close pf the pipe. A clamp with a rubber trademark locks into the groove. Most have 2 bolts for securing the clamp. Mainly used for fire protection systems. If you progress to a warehouse type store (open ceilings) you will be able to see the pipes and clamps. I own also installed these systems in food processing plants and one cooling element. They also have a short time "give" and will remained sealed near as much as six degrees correct.
