PRODUCTS & EQUIPMENT World leading pipe joining systems A
complete database of products from world leading pipe joining systems manufacturer,
Victaulic, is now available for use with MagiCAD. A popular choice for building services design on AutoCAD and Revit, MagiCAD is widely used to improve accuracy, quality and productivity. Availability of the Victaulic product database now makes it easier for designers, engineers, contractors and clients to reap the many benefits of grooved pipe joining technology. The database contains correct
dimensions and technical data for each of their products. It means that design calculations, such as pressure drops and flow measurements, made while designing with the system, are accurate, and installation problems can be eliminated at the design stage. Designers can also use the software, to quickly and efficiently integrate their products into the design of heating, cooling, utility and sprinkler systems, delivering advantages for project partners. Key products available for use with MagiCAD include the
Now, installation-ready couplings can be installed in less than half the time of standard grooved couplings, compressing schedules even further. (Victaulic Style 107H QuickVic® Rigid Coupling is rated up to 51,70 bar – Style 177 QuickVic® Flexible Coupling is rated up to 69 bar)
Style 731-D suction diffuser, Installation-ready couplings, the Advanced Groove System (AGS), the FireLock NXT® alarm valve range, a complete line of valves and stainless steel products. Their use brings benefits including fast installation, space savings and enhanced system performance. The Victaulic Style 731-D Suction Diffuser enables pipework to be connected closer to the pump at a 90-degree angle. By eliminating long pipe runs, elbows and
reducers, it makes for a smaller mechanical room footprint and optimum pump performance. Installation-ready couplings
are characterized by a single unit coupling design and allow pipe joining by simply inserting the coupling onto the grooved end of a pipe, fitting, valve or accessory and then tightening the nuts. Standard grooved couplings are installed up to five times faster than welded joints and up to three times faster than flanged.
Also available is the Victaulic patented AGS– the only two-piece coupling available for joining large diameter pipe sizes up to 60”/1525 mm. (Rated up to 24 bar depending on coupling size). Due to the technical and practical benefits they deliver, Victaulic piping system solutions have been used in some of the worlds most impressive and challenging engineering projects, such as the Burj Khalifa and the Bird’s Nest Olympic stadium in Beijing. Now that the product range is available for use with MagiCAD, engineers have easy access to the advantages they bring to more and more building services projects.

Pressfitting system in a prestigious aeroplane component factory
The Eurotubi Pressfitting System was used to renovate the compressed air systems in the Safran Messier Dowty factory in Bidos (France), where they produce landing gear for the most prominent passenger and military planes. Eurotubi Europa provided
all the fittings, and pipes, for the complete renewal of the compressed air circulation system inside the “Safran Messier Dowty” plants in Bidos. Here they produce

and assemble landing gear for the giants of the air, from the spacious and comfortable Jumbo Jets for civilian transportation, to the massive military aircraft for transporting heavy equipment and troops. Messier Dowty is the world leader in the industry, and in addition to the renowned technical quality of its products, the company is committed to protecting the environment, by studying solutions to reduce the weight of its products and,
consequently, fuel consumption and related emissions. The qualities of resistance, reliability and assembly speed, found in the Eurotubi Pressfitting System are winning characteristics for air and fluid circulation systems in industrial plants. The AISI 316L stainless steel used is synonymous with mechanical resistance to operational stress and ensures long lasting systems. For these reasons, the best installers recommend using pressfittings in AISI 316L

stainless steel for compressed air systems. These systems may cost their customers more compared to other materials, but with the certainty that the system will pay for itself through less downtime (for maintenance and replacement of damaged circuits) and, as already mentioned, with longer system life.
