When we designed the Advanced Groove System, our customers set the criteria:

• Contractors asked us for ease of installation, reliability and inspectability, so we developed a new, robust two-piece housing.

• Engineers wanted enhanced strength, so we created a revolutionary wedge-shaped groove that’s deeper (.250"/6.4 mm) and wider than that of any other groove system to provide increased coupling-to-pipe engagement.

• Pipe fabricators were looking to reduce roll-set change outs, so we established a single groove profile for all sizes 14" to 24"/350 mm – 600 mm — and located the groove further from the pipe end to reduce sensitivity to pipe end flare.

The fastest and most reliable Victaulic joint system for 14"/350 mm to 24"/600 mm pipe:

As shown in this actual

demonstration, a single

24"/600 mm AGS pipe joint

is strong enough to support

this payloader. You can be

confident that it’s strong

enough for your applications.

It all adds up to the strongest Victaulic mechanical coupling assembly system ever in this size range. Our patented Advanced Groove System (AGS) delivers exceptional results. AGS-joined pipe handles higher end loads and a higher pressure rating — up to 350 psi/2,410 kPa with a nominal three-to-one safety factor.

AdVANCEd GRooVE SyStEm™

Fast, simple, dependable assembly.

Visual confirmation of a proper joint — when these faces meet on both sides, joint integrity is confirmed.

Coupling locks into place into a deeper, wider groove for all-round rigidity.

Only two housings and two bolts provide 360° contact with the groove and make successful assembly easy.

Urban Outfitters PhiladelPhia, PennsylVania

Urban Outfitters corporate headquarters needed an innovative piping system solution in order to accommodate an accelerated renovation schedule.

AGS couplings, fittings and valves were utilized on the 14"/350 mm chilled water lines.

The center piece of the new office building is a glass-enclosed heating/cooling central plant that occupies the lobby area.

William Osler hospital BramPtOn, OntariO

The 14-24"/350-600 mm AGS solution was utilized on heating, chilled and condenser water piping for distribution and mechanical room systems at the William Osler Hospital in Brampton, Ontario. Taking advantage of the quick installation features, the contractor used the complete AGS system of couplings, fittings, valves and pump accessories to help ensure the project met both budget and project schedule requirements.

All Advanced Groove System couplings, whether flexible or rigid, have a two-piece design and are secured with just two bolts. This simplifies and speeds assembly. The housings are easy to position into the grooves. A wider, wedge-shaped groove facilitates proper coupling positioning by decreasing initial installation sensitivity. Tightening the nuts to the proper specification completes the joint.

In addition, the surfaces of the two housings meet solidly between the head of the bolt and the securing nut, providing visual confirmation of proper assembly and joint integrity once the nut is properly torqued.

We offer a full range of 14" to 24"/350 mm to 600 mm AGS couplings, fittings, valves and accessories — making AGS a comprehensive solution for HVAC and industrial process piping. Because the AGS coupling system provides great strength and dependability in addition to speed, it’s an excellent choice over welded. Other advantages AGS joints provide over welded joints include no flame, superior seismic-shock resistance and a union at every joint for easy adjustment, system maintenance or system expansion.

Patented coupling locks into a deeper, wider, wedge-shaped groove for extremely strong, dependable joints.

Victaulic has developed a new, robust housing profile that increases the distance from the groove to the end of the pipe to enhance strength. AGS coupling housings make complete 360° contact with the groove. The FlushSeal™ gasket for AGS products, provides superior sealing.

All AGS couplings use the same groove — which means only one roll set per tool is required for the complete range. Once equipped with AGS roll sets, standard Victaulic roll grooving tools (models VE416FSD, VE414 MC, VE424, and VE436 MC) are used to prepare the pipe.
