Contractors and engineers can reduce pipe installation time by up to half with the Style 177 Quickvic coupling from Victaulic. The coupling is an extension of Victaulic’s installation-ready product line and offers flexibility for expansion, contraction and deflection. The coupling can be assembled without the need to disassemble the nuts, bolts, housings and gasket so that crews can assemble a grooved joint by inserting the installation-ready coupling onto the pipe/fitting ends and tightening the nuts using standard hand tools or an impact gun. The coupling’s centring bolt pad design gives a visual confirmation of proper installation with a metal-to-metal connection. It features an ‘EHP’ gasket material for performance from -34C to 121C (-30F to 250F), and it is geometrically optimised for performance under pressure, heat, assembly and stress relaxation. The coupling is suitable for HVAC, utility piping, process piping and mining applications and is rated up to 6,900kPa/1,000psi. It is available in sizes 2in, 2.5in, 3in, 4in, 5in, 6in and 8in, as well as 76.1mm and 139.7mm. It is designed for joining standard roll-grooved and cut-grooved steel pipe.
