Piping Systems Unique Solutions Grooved End Technology Green Building Safety Compressed Construction Schedules Engineering Design Benefits Noise & Vibration Attenuation Expansion & Contraction Seismic Stability Seismic Testing Advanced Groove System (AGS) Testimonials Amongst the many benefits provided by Victaulic grooved end products, there are several significant engineering design benefits achieved when designing a piping system with the Victaulic grooved end components throughout a piping system.  Those design benefits include: noise and vibration attenuation, expansion and contraction and seismic stability.   "Victaulic couplings dampened the overall vibration amplitude by 80-90%." (as determined by SSA Acoustics in Seattle, Washington)...click here for more  The inherent design of a Victaulic flexible grooved piping system accommodates expansion and contraction by allowing for linear movements and deflection capabilities...click here for more Victaulic couplings were exposed to accelerations up to 50% greater than the Northridge, California earthquake and pressurized to 200psi/1375 kPa for the duration of all tests and no pressure loss or leakage was noted during any of the tests...click here for more
