Welded systems demand 45% more man-hours on average compared
to Victaulic no-flame piping solutions.
The math is simple: less man-hours equals less exposure and project risk.
Victaulic will increase project
efficiency and reduce field
man-hours from start to finish
with value added services.

Seismic Performance TestingNatural disasters happen, but when there
is no time for downtime, planning ahead
can make a world of difference.
Piping systems located in earthquake prone
areas are likely to be exposed to forces and
deflections beyond normal static conditions
and the results can be catastrophic.
Victaulic components can accommodate seismic forces in the following piping system conditions.
• Code-regulated systems with adequate earthquake bracing
• Unregulated systems with little or no earthquake bracing
• Seismic joint connections between independently-moving sections
• Buried systems

6 Data Centers
Testing performed at the Real-Time Multi-directional Experimental Laboratory at the Center
for Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA,
USA proved the suitability of Victaulic grooved mechanical couplings to maintain operational
integrity of piping systems during seismic events.
Victaulic couplings ranging in size from
4”-16”/100 - 400 mm were exposed to
accelerations up to 50% greater than the
Northridge, California earthquake. The
water-filled assemblies were pressurized to
200psi/1375 kPa for the duration of all tests
and no pressure loss or leakage was noted
during any of the tests.

The versatility, reliability and speed of Victaulic mechanical pipe
joining systems makes them ideal for use in data center applications.
By specifying and installing Victaulic, engineers, owners and installation contractors conserve time and financial resources through:
COMPRESSED PROJECT SCHEDULES Victaulic systems increase project efficiency from the start
LOWERED TOTAL INSTALLED COST Over the lifetime of the system
SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT Reduced calendar days reduces exposure to job site accidents
REDUCED SYSTEM DOWNTIME during scheduled maintenance and service checks

A UNION AT EVERY JOINTRemoval of two couplings permits removal of a pipe section for replacement, cleaning or servicing.
MAINTAINABILITY
Victaulic systems provide easy accessibility when conducting preventative systems maintenance, resulting in a continued high level of energy efficiency and little to no downtime required.
Maintenance plans are a critical element to every data center. Whether maintaining computer equipment or cooling equipment, system shut downs are limited to mere minutes. By using Victaulic mechanical piping systems, changing out inefficient equipment is as easy as loosening two bolts and two nuts. There is no need and no time required to cut out sections of pipe and re-weld.

Protecting Equipment, Personnel and the Environment
Until now, fire suppression meant
damaged equipment, lengthy and
costly clean up, and lost productivity.
Now, data center owners can breathe
a little easier knowing their equipment
and environment are protected by
the VictaulicVortex Fire Suppression
System.
VictaulicVortex
• The only hybrid nitrogen-water fire
suppression system
• Nearly ZERO wetting of protected areas
• No ozone depleting or greenhouse
gas emissions
• Quick system recharge to support
minimal facility downtime
“ My clients were very impressed with
the VictaulicVortex system when they
saw the level of fire protection it provides
without huge amounts of water or toxic
chemicals. It’s all about protecting the
people and assets, minimal impact on
the hazard environment and the fast
return to normal operations.
The Vortex system delivers.”
TOM EUSON, 3S INCORPORATED
Made entirely of non-toxic agents — personnel are safe even during activation; reduction of oxygen in the space is at levels within safe breathing tolerances.
System activation is immediate when sensors detect smoke or heat — there is no delay in activation to evacuate personnel to avoid a toxic environment.
VictaulicVortex™ Fire Suppression
14 Data Centers
VictaulicVortex in a Data Center
The system fully
extinguishes fires in
enclosed cabinets and
isolated equipment within
protected spaces.
Zones can be
centrally controlled yet
independently activated
for fire suppression only
where required.
The system delivers
as little as one gallon
of water per emitter
per minute: each
emitter can protect
up to 2,500 cubic ft.
The system is
compatible with facility
fire protection systems
providing greater
design flexibility.
System is recharged
rapidly allowing for
a return to working
conditions almost
immediately after
a fire.
