Vic-Press
Vic-Press is a flame-free press-to-connect device that joins off-the-shelf ANSI Schedule 10S stainless steel pipe in a matter of seconds. It provides increased strength and durability, and eliminates the need to stock specialty pipe. With better flow characteristics than light-wall tubing, the joined pipe handles up to one and a half times the flow with 20+% less pressure drop, and it offers up to three times the end-load performance and twice the bend-load performance. Installation requires 70% fewer man-hours than welding, which significantly reduces rework and risk to personnel. With pressure tolerances up to 500 psi (3,450 kPa), Vic-Press exceeds ANSI Class 150 standards. It also meets ASME B31.1, 31.3 and 31.9 support requirements. The system is available for 1/2-in. to 2-in. (15–50-mm) Type 304/304L and Type 316/316L pipe. It is suitable for a variety of wet and dry industrial and commercial applications, including oil, compressed air, lubricated air, noncombustible gas, and general chemical services.

Style 177 QuickVic Flexible Coupling
Designed for joining standard roll-grooved and cut-grooved steel pipe, the Style 177 QuickVic Flexible Coupling is the latest addition to a line of patented, installation-ready products that also includes the Style 107 QuickVic rigid coupling and the Style 177 QuickVic coupling for flexible piping systems. It is said to be ideal for utility service and industrial process piping in power generation and manufacturing facilities. With no loose parts and no need to be disassembled before installation, the coupling can be installed in one-tenth the time required by other pipe-joining methods, such as welding, brazing, soldering or flanging. The single-unit design is inserted onto the grooved end of a pipe, fitting, valve or any other accessory, and standard hand tools or an impact wrench are used to tighten the nuts. The coupling features a proprietary ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) or nitrile gasket material for performance from –30°F to 250°F (–34°C to 121°C). The gasket is geometrically optimized for performance under pressure, heat, assembly and stress relaxation. The Style 177 flexible coupling is rated to 1,000 psi (6,900 kPa), the Style 107 rigid coupling to 580 psi (4,000 kPa). The couplings are available in sizes of 2 in./50 mm, 2.5 in./65 mm, 3 in./80 mm, 4 in./100 mm, and 6 in./150 mm.
