CONFINED SPACE INSTALLATIONS

Our grooved mechanical pipe systems are ideal for tight spaces because they reduce the possibility for rework, can be installed in closer proximity to one another, and are safer than welding. Voilà!

When it comes to piping systems, it’s not uncommon to have to squeeze a large system into a limited space. This is particularly true with retrofit projects. However, this issue can also arise in the piping galleries for municipal projects, ballast systems on ships, mechanical rooms on multi-residential buildings, and trench piping in data centers.

3 REASONS TO USE VICTAULIC IN CONFINED SPACES

1. Reduce the possibility for rework associated with field mate-up problems.
Unlike welding, where field mate-up issues can mean extensive and expensive re-work, Victaulic grooved couplings allow for a full 360° rotation of the pipe and system components before tightening, so that proper alignment can be achieved in the field.

2. Install piping systems in closer proximity to one another.
Victaulic grooved systems feature a lower profile compared to flanged systems. As such, grooved piping systems can be installed in closer proximity to one another.

3. Eliminate safety risks associated with welding.
Victaulic grooved systems are installed without the use of flame or fume, which is of critical importance when installing piping systems within confined spaces.
