APPLIED VIC-RING SYSTEM 16.

08
Flexible High Pressure Coupling for
Applied Vic-Ring Systems
STYLE 277
The patented Style 277 coupling is comprised of two housings and is designed
to provide a strong connection for large diameter piping systems with working
pressures up to 650 psi/4500 kPa. The unique wedge-shaped groove profile
required for this coupling helps align the coupling in the groove, resulting in easier
initial assembly alignment. The Style 277 coupling is assembled on the
Vic-Ring to complete the joint. This flexible coupling has deflection capabilities
that can assist with routing pipe over uneven surfaces.
The Style 277 coupling may be installed on lined or un-lined pipe.
Style 277 is installed using two types of rings. A specially designed Type "B" ring is
Patented
butt welded to the end of the pipe or a Type "D" slip on ring can be used.
A Style 207 rigid high pressure coupling is also available.
Request publication 16.09 for details.
