with Victaulic Style 75 and Style 77 Flexible Couplings.
DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO DIRECT GROOVE CPVC PIPE. THE VICTAULIC FIRE-
LOCK CPVC NO. 832 GROOVED ADAPTER MUST BE USED WHEN
TRANSITIONING FROM VICTAULIC FIRELOCK CPVC SPRINKLER
SYSTEM PIPE TO GROOVED IPS PIPE. DO NOT USE VICTAULIC
STYLE 005 AND STYLE 07 RIGID COUPLINGS WITH VICTAULIC FIRE-
LOCK CPVC NO. 832 GROOVED ADAPTERS.
1.
Prepare the IPS pipe in accordance with current Victaulic specifica-
tions.
2.
Inspect the grooved adapter and pipe. The outside surface of the
pipe/adapter groove and the pipe/adapter end must be smooth and free
from indentations, projections, and roll marks to ensure a leak-tight seal
for the gasket. All oil, grease, and dirt must be removed.
3.
Use a standard Grade “E” (EPDM) gasket with a green stripe or a
grade “E,” Type “A” gasket with a purple stripe that is suitable for wet fire
protection service.
4.
Make sure the gasket is clean and does not contain cracks, cuts,
and other defects that could cause leaks. DO NOT allow solvent cement
to contact the gasket.
5.
Check the gasket supplied to make sure it is Vic-Plus™. Squeeze
the gasket, and look for a translucent, white color on the exterior.
NOTE:
It is normal for a fine, white “crazing” to appear on the gasket surface
when it is flexed. If the gasket is not supplied with Vic-Plus, lubrication will
be required. Lubricate the gasket with IPS Weld-On Gasket/Joint Lubri-
cant #787 or Seacord Corp. Ease-On Pipe Joint Lubricant.
