The Victaulic System
For Shipbuilding & Offshore Piping Applications
Victaulic Company85+ years of Innovation
• Founded on innovation and new product development• British War Department sought faster way to join pipe
in Word War 1– Rapid deployment of water and fuel to front lines
• VICTAULIC company name– “VICTory Joint” for use on hydrAULICS
Victaulic Today• 4,000 Employees
• Privately held• Global manufacturing
– North America, Europe, Asia• 3,000 points of distribution
worldwide
Victaulic – A Proven Solution for Shipbuilding • Products approved
by International Association of Classification Societies
• Global installations over the past 30+ years
Anatomy of a GrooveThe grooved method assemblyinvolves three basic concepts:
– A pressure-responsive gasket that creates a leak-tight seal
– Couplings that hold the pipe together and;
– Bolts and nuts that secure the couplings to the pipe.
Gasket– C-shaped design– EPDM (ethylene propylene
diene monomer) for water (to +110°C)
– Nitrile compound gasket for oil services (to +82°C).
Complete Product Offering10,000 + Products
• Rigid and Flexible Couplings• Fittings and Adapters• Valves• Pipe Preparation Tools• Accessory Piping System

Steel• Copper• Ductile Iron
• Copper Nickel
• PVC• CPVC• HDPE
Rigid vs. Flexible Couplings•Rigid coupling :
– Similar with welding or flanging
• Flexible coupling : – Flat bolt pads provide
flexible joint– Provides effective stress
relief, vibration attenuation
Why Use Victaulic on your ships?
• Reduce total installed costs• Drastically reduce fabrication time• Faster installation• Easier on-board installation and maintenance with less
space required• 58% reduction in weight compared to flanged• Improve safety by eliminating costly fire watch and
hazardous flames• Greater working pressures than other joining methods• Improved inventory control
Shipboard Piping Applications Victaulic products approved for shipboard
pipingsystem applications include:
• Fire Main & Sprinklers
• Hot and Cold Fresh Water & Deck Wash
• Seawater Systems• Sanitary & Waste
Systems• Air Conditioning• Ballast Systems• Bilge Systems• Engine Water
Cooling• Cargo Oil Systems
• Bulk Cement• Deck Drains• Low Pressure Mud• Vacuum• Auxiliary Pump Room• Compressed Air
System• Sounding Tube• Vents and Overflows• Air Piping• Lube Oil Systems• Inert Gas
Flexibility Advantages• Up to 45% increase in
attenuation• Permanent connection• No anchors/tie rods• Fatigue advantage• Accommodates
vibration/noise and expansion/contraction
