Above are given illustra- tions and dimensions of fittings, such as bends, springs, tees, elbows, etc., which have been standardized with Victaulic grooved ends by all leading makers. A whole pipeline, from one end to the other, including the fitting of valves and closing lengths, can be carried out so easily with these fittings and the ordinary Victaulic joint-the only tool required being a small spanner. laying The introduction of the Victaulic system will greatly simplify your pipe 1 with the resultant saving in time and money.
