COLUMN 2: Gasket seat – The pipe surface shall be free from indentations, roll marks, and projections from the end of the pipe to the groove, to provide a
leak-tight seal for the gasket. All loose paint, scale, dirt, chips, grease and rust must be removed. It continues to be Victaulic’s first recommendation that pipe
be square cut. When using beveled pipe contact Victaulic for details. Square cut pipe must be used with FlushSeal
®
and EndSeal
®
gaskets. Gasket seat "A" is
measured from the end of the pipe.
IMPORTANT: Roll grooving of beveled end pipe may result in unacceptable pipe end flare. See column 7.

up.
