Above drawings are exaggerated for clarity.

The concept of rolling a groove into pipe without removing metal was developed by Victaulic in 1955. The
concept was first used for light-wall pipe which did not have sufficient wall thicknesses to permit cut
grooving. Technological developments now permit roll grooving of standard weight steel pipe, up to 42"
(1050 mm).
Victaulic Vic-Easy® roll grooving tools are designed to rotate the pipe as an upper roll is pressed into the
pipe. The lower roll, in addition to rotating the pipe, is the female die inside the pipe. Groove depth “D” is
controlled by an adjustable stop. The configuration of the rolls provides the proper “A” (gasket sealing
surface), “B” (groove width) and “C” (groove diameter) dimensions.
Standard cut grooved pipe will provide double the expansion/contraction or deflection of the same size
standard roll groove pipe. Roll grooving is applicable for both carbon steel (galvanized or black) and stainless
steel.

‡ Nominal Linear Movement and Deflection are dependent upon pipe properly roll or cut grooved to Victaulic specifications.
Contact Victaulic for information.
Maximum allowable linear movement is the difference between minimum and maximum pipe end separation subject to tolerances (see Design Data).

NOTES
* Working Pressure and End Load are total, from all internal and external loads, based on ANSI standard weight (0.375"/9.5 mm) steel pipe, standard roll grooved
in accordance with Victaulic® specifications and with bolts fully torqued to listed specifications. Contact Victaulic for performance on other pipe.
WARNING: FOR ONE TIME FIELD TEST ONLY, the Maximum Joint Working Pressure may be increased to 1¹⁄₂ times the figures shown.
‡ Pipe End Separation and Deflection figures show the nominal range of movement available at each joint for standard roll grooved pipe. For design and installation
purposes these figures should be reduced by 25% to allow for pipe groove tolerances. NOTE: Joints which are fully deflected can no longer provide linear move-
ment. Partially deflected joints will provide some portion of linear movement. Pressure thrusts will tend to straighten deflected pipe.
@ Number of bolts required equals number of housing segments.
Metric thread size bolts are available (color coded gold) for all coupling sizes upon request. Contact Victaulic for details.
WARNING: Piping systems must always be depressurized and drained before attempting disassembly and removal of any Victaulic piping products.

COLUMN 1: Nominal IPS Pipe size.
COLUMN 2: IPS outside diameter. The outside diameter of roll grooved pipe shall not vary more than the tolerance listed. For IPS pipe the maximum allowable tolerance from square cut ends
is 0.060" (1.5 mm) for sizes 28" (700 mm) and above measured from true square line.
COLUMN 3: Gasket seat. The pipe surface shall be free from indentations, roll marks, and projections from the end of the pipe to the groove, to provide a leaktight seal for the gasket. All loose
paint, scale, dirt, chips, grease and rust must be removed. It continues to be Victaulic Company’s first recommendation that pipe be square cut. When using beveled pipe contact Victaulic for
details. Gasket seat “A” is measured from the end of the pipe. IMPORTANT: Roll grooving of beveled end pipe may result in unacceptable pipe end flare. See column 8.
COLUMN 4: Groove width. Bottom of groove to be free of loose dirt, chips, rust and scale that may interfere with proper coupling assembly. Corners at bottom of groove must be radiused. For
IPS steel pipe, R-0.015" (0.38 mm) ±0.005 (0.13 mm).
COLUMN 5: Groove outside diameter. The groove must be of uniform depth for the entire pipe circumference. Groove must be maintained within the “C” diameter tolerance listed.
COLUMN 6: Groove depth. For reference only. Groove must conform to the groove diameter “C” listed.
COLUMN 7: Minimum allowable wall thickness. This is the minimum wall thickness which may be roll grooved.
COLUMN 8: Maximum allowable pipe end flare diameter. Measured at the most extreme pipe end diameter square cut or beveled.

Applied Vic-Ring ® Method

Victaulic offers the Vic-
Ring piping method for
joining large diameter pipe
which does not lend itself
to direct grooving. The
adaptation of pipe with Vic-
Ring adapters and the
selection of a suitable Vic-
taulic coupling can present
individual considerations
which are best handled by
Victaulic engineers, who
are experienced in these
applications. Contact Vic-
taulic for assistance.

Vic-Ring System Application Data

The adaptation of pipe with Vic-Ring adapters and the selection of a
suitable Victaulic coupling present individual considerations which can
best be screened by Victaulic engineers, who are experienced in Vic-Ring
end applications. Also, space limitation in this manual prevents a listing of
all Victaulic coupling patterns available for Vic-Ring adaptations.
Before proceeding with Vic-Ring end designs, submit to us a Vic-Ring
Application Data form which is part of Section 16.01, include: pipe O.D.,
pipe wall thickness, working pressure, laying conditions and the quantity of
Victaulic couplings required. We will be glad to recommend the type of Valve

Gasket Data
Gasket Data
Unique “C” shaped gasket
forms a triple seal
The sealing efficiency of
Victaulic gaskets is such that the
gasket forms an initial seal as it
is stretched over the pipe ends.
Upon placement of the housing
around the gasket and into the
grooves, the gasket is
positioned. As the housing
segments are tightened, the
resilient elastomeric gasket
conforms to the internal cavity
of the housing and is further
compressed, enhancing the
gasket’s seal against the pipe.
The Victaulic gasket is pressure
responsive.
Gasket

Seals between the pipe ends
and the groove
The combination of these
characteristics creates a
permanent, leak-tight triple seal
on a variety of piping materials
including carbon steel, stainless
steel, aluminum, PVC, cast iron
and copper.
Line pressure serves to
strengthen the seal through the
combination of normal gasket
resilience, housing
reinforcement and the action of
pressure downward on the lips.
To assure the maximum life for
the service intended, proper
gasket selection and
specification in ordering is
essential.
Many factors must be
considered in determining the
optimum gasket for a specific
service. The foremost
consideration is temperature,
along with concentration of
product, duration of service and
continuity of service.
Temperatures beyond the
recommended limits have a
degrading effect on the gasket.
Therefore, there is a direct
relationship between
temperature, continuity of
service and gasket life.

recommendations or assitance.

USE OF HANGERS AND SUPPORTS

The use of hangers and supports offering freedom of movement in one
or more directions has to be considered to allow pipes to move freely.
Spring hangers are good practice at change of direction to allow
freedom of pipe movement.
When this end force is due to a closed end or change in direction, the
pressure thrust transmitted by the joint can be computed from the
formula:

Flexible grooved type couplings allow angular flexibility and rotational
movement to take place at joints. These features provide advantages
in installing and engineering piping systems, but must be considered
when determining hanger and support requirements.

structure or other equipment. This is particularly important for long Elevation View

Design Data

As illustrated, it is obvious that this system would require further

hangers to eliminate the deflection of the pipes that would occur.
Hanger positions must therefore be considered in relation to the
angular and rotational movement that will occur at joints.
In the system illustrated, if the joints had all been installed butted or
only partially open when pressurized, the pipe ends would all move to
the maximum extent allowed by the coupling and this movement
would accumulate at the end of the system. The offset would have to
Θ
be capable of deflecting sufficiently, otherwise harmful bending
moments would be induced in the joints of the offset. Note, if the pipes Θ
were to expand due to thermal changes, then further growth of the
pipes would also take place at the ends. ANGULAR MOVEMENT TOLERANCE

Standard cut grooved pipe will provide double the

Ensure anchorage and support is adequate. Use anchors to direct

Consideration must be given to use of expansion joints if thermal

The supporting of fittings (elbows, tees, etc.) in this size range will
depend on the weight (wall thickness) and position (orientation) of the

fittings within the system. Fittings and other concentrated loads
should be supported by an appropriate means in order to prevent the D
buildup of stresses at the coupling. As an example, a support in the L
center of the fitting will prevent the weight of the fitting and internal
fluid from being transferred to the adjacent couplings.

RULES APPLICABLE TO LONG RUNS OF PIPE
For long pipe runs it is normal practice to anchor or block all changes Θ = SIN -1 G

prevent accumulation of end pull forces on the joints due to thermal
growth. Where changes in direction of piping inside a structure (e.g., Where:
pump house) can create pressure thrusts, a main anchor could be used Y = Misalignment (Inches)
to prevent pipe being pulled into the pump house. This anchor will
also prevent harmful thermal movement of pipe. G = Maximum Allowable Pipe End Movement (Inches) as shown

Θ = Maximum Deflection (Degrees) from Center Line as shown
under Performance Data (Published value to be reduced by

D = Pipe Outside Diameter (Inches)
L = Pipe Length (Inches)

Where lines are likely to block or plug, joints and anchors (including
intermediate anchors) should be designed to withstand the
longitudinal pressure thrust or End Load created by the blockage.
ANGULAR DEFLECTIONS
Angular deflection available at flexible grooved pipe joints is
published under Performance Data for each Victaulic coupling style.
These values are MAXIMUMS. For design and installation purposes
these figures should be reduced by the following factors to allow for
pipe grooving tolerances (Refer to Sections 26.01 & 26.02 for more
details).
