MN100: Victaulic

Victaulic is the originator and has been the world’s leading producer of mechanical pipe-joining solutions since 1919. In the maritime industry, Victaulic grooved piping products are used on a wide range of vessels, including tugs and workboats. Victaulic systems offer a number of advantages for newbuilds, retrofit and repair services, as they reduce system downtime and time out of service.

Victaulic’s line of grooved mechanical couplings and grooved-end valves, fittings and accessories are Type Approved by IACS members. Approved for applications such as ballast and cooling water systems, bilge systems, vent lines, firefighting systems, deck drains, fuel and oil systems, Victaulic does not require hot work permits and Victaulic systems reduce installation time required for piping projects by a minimum of 30 percent. Victaulic valve assemblies are 58 percent lighter and couplings have a smaller profile than flanged components and allow 360 degrees of rotation, easing installation and maintenance in tight spaces, reducing the size of wall and deck penetrations.
