Overview
The Victaulic Style 99 Roust-A-Bout Coupling is a heavy-duty flexible coupling for joining 3″ plain end and beveled end steel pipe and Victaulic plain end fittings. Style 99 Roust-A-Bout couplings are designed with heavy housings and grips to provide a strong component for joining plain and beveled end, including Schedule 80 steel pipe and Victaulic plain end fittings. With a maximum working pressure of 600 PSI, this ductile iron coupling is suitable for industrial piping, hydraulic lines, pneumatic systems, and demanding fluid transfer applications.
Key Features
- Heavy-duty gripping design: Pipe is secured together by heavy jaws, which are set into the housing. The jaws provide a much greater gripping area than single spot grips.
- Ductile iron construction: Housing: Ductile iron conforming to ASTM A-395, grade 65-45-15, and ASTM A-536, grade 65-45-12.
- Plain end connection: Compatible with Victaulic plain end fittings; Style 99 couplings are designed for use with plain end or beveled end pipe and Victaulic plain end fittings only.
- Torque-controlled assembly: Style 99 Roust-A-Bout couplings must be assembled with nuts tightened to full torque specifications.
- Preassembled gasket: Supplied with Grade E gasket included for immediate installation.
- Standard corrosion protection: All sizes are supplied with painted housings and plated nuts and bolts.
