3 Allowable Pipe End Separation and Deflection figures show the maximum nominal range of movement available at each joint for standard roll grooved pipe.
Figures for standard cut grooved pipe may be doubled. These figures are maximums; for design and installation purposes, these figures should be reduced by:
50% for ¾ – 3 ½"/DN20 – DN90; and 25% for 4"/DN100 and larger.
NOTE
• Metric thread size bolts are available (color-coded gold) for all coupling sizes upon request. Contact Victaulic for details.

4 Working Presssure and End Load are total from all internal and external loads based on standard weight (ANSI) steel pipe standard roll or cut grooved in
accordance with Victaulic specifications. Contact Victaulic for performance on other pipe and material. Maximum working pressure rating based on larger pipe
size. Maximum end load rating based on smaller pipe size.
NOTES
• WARNING: FOR ONE-TIME FIELD USE ONLY the Maximum Joint Working Pressure may be increased to 1 ½ times the figures shown.
• For joint pressure ratings on additional carbon steel wall thicknesses see publication 06.15.
