Notes:
Column 1: “Size (NPS)” is the nominal NPS steel pipe size.
NOTE: Special Vic-Rings are offered to permit the four sizes of Style 28 couplings listed
in Column 3 to be used to join eight different sizes of pipe listed in Column 1. Contact
Victaulic for specific details.
Couplings are compatible with multiple pipe sizes as shown below:
20" coupling - 18 & 20" pipe
24" coupling- 22 & 24" pipe
27"coupling- 26 & 27" pipe
30" coupling- 28 & 30" pipe
Column 2: “Wall ‘T’” is the standard minimum wall thickness for use with Victaulic Vic-Ring® Adapters.
Lighter wall thicknesses may by used, possibly at lower working pressures. Contact Victaulic
for details.
Column 3: “Nom Size” is the nominal size for Victaulic Style 28 Couplings and Victaulic Vic-Ring™
Adapters. Note this nominal diameter may be larger than the nominal pipe size as shown in
the chart.
Column 4: “Nom Length” is nominal length of the Vic-Ring™ and is provided for identifying clearance
requirements.
Column 5: Overall dimensions of Style 28 couplings.
Column 6: Coupling bolt size and number required.
Column 7: Coupling weight each, Lbs / Kg.

Important: The joint performance data which is published in this document only applies to
genuine Vic-Ring™ adapters designed and supplied by Victaulic Company.
Victaulic Company cannot warrant the performance of joints using adapter rings
supplied by others.

Notes:
Column 1: “Size (NPS)” is the nominal NPS steel pipe size. Nominal Size Style 28 coupling.
Column 2: Nominal pipe outside diameter. Couplings may be used to join pipe with nominal diameters smaller than the coupling size as indicated
in this column.
Column 3: Nominal pipe wall thickness.
Column 4: Coupling Style.
Column 5, 6: Vic-Ring™ Type and outside diameter. Contact Victaulic for specific details.
Column 7: Maximum working pressure, including surge pressure, to which a joint may be subjected. This figure provides a nominal safety factor of three.
These pressure ratings are based on suitable steel pipe of the required wall thickness with appropriate Vic-Ring™ adapters.
Column 8: Standard nominal pipe end gap (separation), and the joint deflection from centerline based on couplings and Vic-Rings of nominal
dimensions. A joint deflected to the maximum angle will not provide any linear movement. This data does not apply to Vic-Ring™ adapters
manufactured for “reduced pipe end gaps” for use with FlushSeal gaskets, or to reduce the effects of turbulence at the joints. This data does
not take into account the effects of manufacturing and installation tolerances. If this data is to be used for system design purposes, customers
should contact Victaulic for assistance.
Column 9: Maximum End Load, published in pounds, is the total of all loads on the coupling joint from all sources, external and internal, including internal
pressure thrust.
Important: The joint performance data contained in the above chart applies to Vic-Ring™ adapters supplied by Victaulic Company. Victaulic
Company cannot warrant the performance of joints using adapter rings supplied by others.
