Victaulic, the world's leading manufacturer of mechanical pipe joining systems, will showcase its patented installation-ready product line and Advanced Groove System (AGS) product line at Norway’s premier HVAC exhibition, VVS-dagene. Both product lines give contractors, engineers and owners an unmatched competitive edge, cutting piping system installation time and making installations safer.  Installation-ready technology is designed to address the HVAC industry’s need to compress project schedules and remain competitive. It is the fastest and safest pipe-joining method currently available. The installation-ready coupling installs up to ten times faster than other pipe- joining methods such as welding, brazing, soldering or flanging. Installation-ready couplings require fewer steps to install, resulting in consistently faster pipe joints, which allows contractors to optimize crew size and better manage their labour risk. Also on display will be the Victaulic patented Advanced Groove System (AGS), the strongest and most dependable mechanical piping joining system for 350-1525mm (14-60”) size piping systems. With a two-piece housing and a wedge-shaped groove that delivers pressure ratings up to 2,400 kPa/350 psi, depending on the pipe size and wall thickness, Victaulic AGS couplings offer exceptional assembly speed and reliability. Visitors stopping by the Victaulic stand E36a can see a large pump set-up with Victaulic products installed which demonstrates their benefits. They will also witness on-site roll-grooving demonstrations utilizing Victaulic roll-grooving tools to prepare pipework for joining. Fred Matyiku, Regional Director – Northern Europe, says: “The Victaulic grooved system works equally well with a variety of piping materials, including carbon and stainless steel, and with a wide range of pipe sizes. This makes it the ideal choice to compress schedules in the HVAC industry where it offers the combined advantages of design versatility, highly reliable operation, and fast installation.” Ends For more information about Victaulic products or distributors, visit www.victaulic.com or contact +32 93 81 1500.
