What is the standard torqueing value of the Victaulic coupling bolts?

The statement that no torquing is required pertains to the inherent design and functionality of Victaulic couplings. These couplings are engineered to create a secure and flexible connection without the need for specific torque values. Victaulic fittings utilize a unique locking mechanism that allows for adjustments and secure fittings without relying on traditional bolted connections that necessitate precise torque specifications.

This design feature not only simplifies the installation process but also enhances efficiency, reducing the time and effort needed for assembly. Furthermore, the self-locking nature of the coupling means that as the pipes expand or contract with changes in temperature, the connection can accommodate these alterations without compromising its integrity.

In contrast, the options that specify a defined torque value, such as 40, 60, or 80 inch pounds, imply the need for a torque wrench and specific tightening procedures that are not applicable to Victaulic couplings. This highlights the advantage of using such couplings in pipefitting applications where ease of maintenance and installation is valued.
