Piping systems in earthquake-prone areas can be exposed to forces and deflections beyond normal static conditions. These seismic forces can cause extensive damage when piping systems cannot accommodate these chages.
Victaulic components can be used to accommodate seismic forces in the following piping systems conditions:
-
Code-regulated systems with adequate earthquake bracing
-
Unregulated systems with little or no earthquake bracing
-
Seismic joint connections between independently-moving sections
-
Buried systems
