Victaulic mechanical piping systems are three to five times faster to install than traditional joining methods. Meet and exceed the “flash-track” schedules associated with data center construction.
Victaulic benefits that save you time and valuable resources.
IMPROVED SAFETY
No flame joining method
LABOR SAVINGS
Easier maintenance and system expansion
DESIGN VERSATILITY
Welded systems demand 45% more man-hours on average compared to Victaulic no-flame piping solutions.
The math is simple: less man-hours equals less exposure and project risk.

Seismic Performance Testing
Natural disasters happen, but when there is no time for downtime, planning ahead can make a world of difference.
Piping systems located in earthquake prone areas are likely to be exposed to forces and deflections beyond normal static conditions and the results can be catastrophic.
Victaulic components can accommodate seismic forces in the following piping system conditions.
• Code-regulated systems with adequate earthquake bracing
• Unregulated systems with little or no earthquake bracing
• Seismic joint connections between independently-moving sections
• Buried systems
Testing performed at the Real-Time Multi-directional Experimental Laboratory at the Center for Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA, USA proved the suitability of Victaulic grooved mechanical couplings to maintain operational integrity of piping systems during seismic events.
Victaulic couplings ranging in size from 4”-16”/100 - 400 mm were exposed to accelerations up to 50% greater than the Northridge, California earthquake. The water-filled assemblies were pressurized to 200psi/1375 kPa for the duration of all tests and no pressure loss or leakage was noted during any of the tests.
The versatility, reliability and speed of Victaulic mechanical pipe joining systems makes them ideal for use in data center applications.
By specifying and installing Victaulic, engineers, owners and installation contractors conserve time and financial resources through:
COMPRESSED PROJECT SCHEDULES
Victaulic systems increase project efficiency from the start
LOWERED TOTAL INSTALLED COST
Over the lifetime of the system
SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT
Reduced calendar days reduces exposure to job site accidents
REDUCED SYSTEM DOWNTIME
during scheduled maintenance and service checks
A UNION AT EVERY JOINT
Removal of two couplings permits removal of a pipe section for replacement, cleaning or servicing.
MAINTAINABILITY
Victaulic systems provide easy accessibility when conducting preventative systems maintenance, resulting in a continued high level of energy efficiency and little to no downtime required. Maintenance plans are a critical element to every data center. Whether maintaining computer equipment or cooling equipment, system shut downs are limited to mere minutes. By using Victaulic mechanical piping systems, changing out inefficient equipment is as easy as loosening two bolts and two nuts. There is no need and no time required to cut out sections of pipe and re-weld.
Exaggerated for clarity VALUE ADDED ENGINEERING
At the root of all the benefits that Victaulic solutions bring to a project - such as jobsite productivity, safety, design flexibility and quality - are the unique features of its products.

Fire Suppression
Protecting Equipment, Personnel and the Environment
Until now, fire suppression meant damaged equipment, lengthy and costly clean up, and lost productivity. Now, data center owners can breathe a little easier knowing their equipment and environment are protected by the VictaulicVortex Fire Suppression System.
VictaulicVortex
• The only hybrid nitrogen-water fire suppression system
• Nearly ZERO wetting of protected areas • No ozone depleting or greenhouse gas emissions
• Quick system recharge to support minimal facility downtime
“ My clients were very impressed with the VictaulicVortex system when they saw the level of fire protection it provides without huge amounts of water or toxic chemicals. It’s all about protecting the people and assets, minimal impact on the hazard environment and the fast return to normal operations. The Vortex system delivers.”
TOM EUSON, 3S INCORPORATED Made entirely of non-toxic
agents — personnel are safe even during activation; reduction of oxygen in the space is at levels within safe breathing tolerances.
System activation is immediate when sensors detect smoke or heat — there is no delay in activation to evacuate personnel to avoid a toxic environment.
VictaulicVortex in a Data Center
The system fully extinguishes fires in enclosed cabinets and isolated equipment within protected spaces.
Zones can be
centrally controlled yet independently activated for fire suppression only where required.
The system delivers as little as one gallon of water per emitter per minute: each emitter can protect up to 2,500 cubic ft.
The system is compatible with facility fire protection systems providing greater design flexibility.
System is recharged rapidly allowing for a return to working conditions almost immediately after a fire.
Global Data Center Project Successes
From the United States to Singapore, Victaulic mechanical piping systems are trusted all over the world to protect, heat and cool data centers.
