By using Victaulic mechanical piping systems, changing out or servicing equipment is as easy as loosening two bolts and two nuts. Additionally, a Victaulic grooved coupling gasket has a C-shaped cross-section seal that is durable enough to handle significant compressive and cyclical loading. All this means is that a system can be pressurized and depressurized repeatedly without fatiguing the rubber.
It is important to know that in a flanged system, the torque on the bolts employs a high compressive load on the internal gasket; this can cause the gasket to tear during disassembly.
