Victaulic couplings were tested at the ATLSS center, a member of the nationally recognized NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulations) testing group, to prove the reliability of Victaulic grooved system components when exposed to seismic movements. Victaulic couplings ranging in size from 4"-16" (100 - 400mm) were exposed to accelerations up to 50% greater than the Northridge, California earthquake. The water-filled assemblies were pressurized to 200psi/1375 kPa for the duration of all tests and no pressure loss or leakage was noted during any of the tests.
