Victaulic Gasket Installation
1. Inspect supplied gasket to be certain it is suited for
intended service (code identifies gasket grade).
Apply a thin coat of silicone lubricant to gasket tips
and outside of gasket.
2. Install gasket, placing gasket over pipe end and
making sure gasket lip does not overhang pipe end.
Refer to the following figure for gasket
configuration.
3. Align and bring two pipe ends together and slide
gasket into position centered between the grooves
on each pipe. No portion of the gasket should
extend into the groove on either pipe.
4. Open fully and place hinged Victaulic
®
flange
around the grooved pipe end with the circular key
section locating into the groove.
5. Insert a standard hex head screw through the
mating holes of the Victaulic
®
flange to secure the
flange firmly in the groove.
6. Tighten fasteners alternately and equally until
housing screw pads are firmly together (metal-to-
metal); refer to
“Screw-Tightening Sequence for
Water Piping Connections,” p. 31
. Do NOT
excessively tighten fasteners.
N

e:: Uneven tightening may cause the gasket to

Screw-Tightening Sequence for
Water Piping Connections
This section describes a screw-tightening sequence for
flanges with flat gaskets or O-rings. Remember that
improperly tightened flanges may leak.
N
No
otte
e:: Before tightening any of the screws, align the
flanges.
Flanges with 8 Screws
Tighten all screws to a snug tightness, following the
numerical sequence for the appropriate pattern as
shown in the following figure. Repeat this sequence to
apply the final torque to each screw.
