GASKET CONSTRUCTION
The grooved piping concept is simple and reliable. The
coupling housing performs several functions as an integral
part of the pipe joint. It contains the gasket, which is fully
enclosed, reinforcing and securing it in position for proper
sealing. The housing also engages on the pipe around the
full pipe circumference and creates a unified joint while
providing the advantages of mechanical joining.
The sealing efficiency of Victaulic gaskets is such that the
gasket forms an initial seal as it is stretched over the pipe
ends. As the housing segments are tightened, the resilient
elastomeric gasket conforms to the internal cavity of the
housing, further enhancing the gasket’s seal against the
pipe, both in pressure and vacuum conditions. The Victau-
lic gasket is pressure responsive, providing increased seal-
ing action as the internal pressure is increased. The
combination of these characteristics creates a permanent,
leak-tight triple seal on a variety of piping materials includ-
ing steel, stainless steel, aluminum, PVC, ductile iron and
copper.
1) The gasket is molded to fit the internal cavity of the hous-
ing. Upon placement of the housing around the gasket and
into the grooves, the gasket is positioned.
UNIQUE PRESSURE RESPONSIVE
Gasket forms a triple seal

Seals between the pipe ends and the groove.
2) The gasket is then slightly compressed as the housings are
tightened to secure the gasket lips in a firm seat on the
pipe, between the grooves and the pipe ends.
3) Line pressure serves to strengthen the seal through the
combination of normal gasket resilience, housing reinforce-
ment and the action of pressure downward on the lips.

Gasket Materials
When Victaulic couplings were first developed, natural rub-
ber compounds were used. As elastomer technology
advanced, superior gasket materials became available and
were added to the Victaulic line. This allows Victaulic to
presently offer a variety of synthetic rubber gaskets to pro-
vide the option of selecting Victaulic products for the wid-
est variety of applications.
For most applications, such as hot water, the Victaulic
Grade “E” EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) gas-
ket compound is recommended. Victaulic Grade “E” mate-
rial is made from a synthetic rubber comprising ethylene
and propylene and vulcanized with an organic peroxide. It
is a material with premium performance properties with
respect to aging and resistance to heat and hot water. Heat
aging tests at +250°F (+121°C) conducted on this material
show essentially no change in physical properties. This sit-
uation is further enhanced when this rubber is subjected to
an essentially non-oxidative environment such as a gasket
in a water piping system. For example, aging tests in a
non-oxidative atmosphere show essentially no change in
physical properties of this material even when tested at
temperatures up to +350°F (+177°C).
Since water has no deteriorating effect on the elastomer,
temperature is the only limiting factor to be considered in
determining the life expectancy of the elastomer in water
service. The superior performance of the Grade “E” elas-
tomer permits its use for hot water service up to +230°F
(+110°C). The Grade “E” gasket is superior to previous gas-
ket materials by all performance barometers, including
high and low temperature limits, tensile strength, chemical
resistance and shelf life.

Chemical compositions are listed in alphabetical order. Unless otherwise noted, temperatures are ambient. For chemicals
or combinations not listed contact Victaulic for recommendations. DO NOT ASSUME THAT A SERVICE SIMILAR TO THE
ONE LISTED CAN BE ACCOMMODATED WITH THE SAME GASKET.
The data and recommendations presented are based upon the best information available resulting from our field experi-
ence and laboratory testing by our own Engineering Department. In addition, we have incorporated the recommendations
supplied by prime producers of basic copolymer materials and information furnished by leading molders of rubber prod-
ucts.
The information presented in this guide is general in scope and should be used only with this full knowledge and under-
standing. In unusual, critical or severe services, full information should be referred to Victaulic.
Where possible, materials should be subjected to simulated service conditions to determine their suitability for the service
intended. Furthermore, it should not be concluded that, in instances where a liner is not affected by several substances
used alone, their combination will have no reaction on the liner. Caution should be exercised with explosive, inflammable
or toxic fluids. All gasket recommendations are based on pressure and temperature limitations published by Victaulic. Bor-
derline services always should be verified by Victaulic.
Where two gaskets are shown under Gasket Grade, both are acceptable under normal conditions for the service listed.
