VICTUALIC COUPLING

Domain	Definition
Mining	A development in which a groove is cut around each end of a pipe instead of the usual threads. Two ends of pipe are then lined up and a rubber ring is fitted around the joint. A pair of semicircular bands, forming a sleeve, are placed around the ring and are drawn together with two bolts. These have a ridge on both edges that fits into the groove of the pipe. As they are tightened, the rubber ring is compressed, making a watertight joint, while the ridges fitting in the grooves make it strong mechanically. Victualic pipe is faster to lay because in large sizes itdoes not have to be aligned perfectly and screwed in. (references)
