00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,667
Pipes between the major components of the lubricating oil system are joined together by Victaulic couplings. 

2
00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:13,542
Victaulic couplings reduce pipe stress by absorbing vibration and allowing for minor pipe misalignment. 

3
00:00:13,542 --> 00:00:20,958
In addition, Victaulic couplings make it easier for maintenance personnel to remove and install system components. 

4
00:00:20,958 --> 00:00:27,458
The coupling consists of two outer steel coupling halves held together by bolts and gaskets. 

5
00:00:27,458 --> 00:00:33,542
The gasket material is selected to withstand the effects of the liquids passing through the piping. 

6
00:00:33,542 --> 00:00:38,667
The pipes that the couplings connect to are machined to accept the lip of the coupling. 

7
00:00:38,667 --> 00:00:43,125
No routine running maintenance is required for the piping system. 

8
00:00:43,125 --> 00:00:50,042
However, any time a system component has to be removed, Victaulic couplings must be disassembled. 

9
00:00:50,042 --> 00:00:55,750
<b>Note: </b>Victaulic couplings must be properly installed to ensure reliability.
