00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,875
Pipes between the major components of the cooling water system are joined together by Victaulic couplings.

2
00:00:06,875 --> 00:00:14,792
Victaulic couplings reduce pipe stress by absorbing vibration and allowing for minor pipe-to-pipe misalignment.

3
00:00:14,792 --> 00:00:22,625
Victaulic couplings also make it easier for maintenance personnel to remove and install components in the system.

4
00:00:22,625 --> 00:00:30,958
The Victaulic coupling consists of two outer steel coupling halves, which are held together by bolts and gaskets.

5
00:00:30,958 --> 00:00:36,750
The gasket material is selected to withstand the effects of the liquids passing through the piping.

6
00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:42,250
The pipes that the Victaulic couplings connect to are machined to accept the lip of the Victaulic coupling.

7
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:46,375
No running maintenance is required on the piping system.

8
00:00:46,375 --> 00:00:53,542
However, any time a component of the system is removed, Victaulic couplings must be disassembled.

9
00:00:53,542 --> 00:00:59,833
<b>Note:</b> Victaulic couplings must be properly installed to ensure reliability.
