THERE ARE 4 ADVANTAGES OF USING VICTAULIC
COUPLINGS TO ACCOMMODATE PIPE MOVEMENT DUE TO
THERMAL CHANGES
Pipe design flexibility
Reduced stress on the piping system
Ein kompakteres, überprüfbares und produktiveres Installationsverfahren im Vergleich zu anderen Rohrverbindungsmethoden wie Schweißen
Entspricht den branchenüblichen Verfahren in der industriellen Gebäudetechnik
The key to effectively accommodating pipe thermal expansion and contraction in a building is to allow the predictable, controlled movement of the piping itself. This can be achieved in a variety of ways; the selection of a specific method is based upon the engineer, the type of piping system and the project parameters.

4 WAYS GROOVED COUPLINGS ACCOMMODATE THERMAL MOVEMENT
They provide an expansion joint utilizing groovedmechanical pipe components.
They allow the system to “free-float”.
They utilize the linear movement/deflectioncapabilities of flexible grooved couplings.
They provide an expansion loop utilizing groovedmechanical components.
3 REASONS WHY GROOVED COUPLINGS ARE A SMART ALTERNATIVE
Grooved pipe couplings are easier and faster to install over welding.
They accommodate movement within the design capability of the grooved coupling, and are done within the product’s "free range of motion.”
Piping system movement caused by pipe thermal expansion and contraction can be accommodated in smaller spaces, with low stress on the components.
