3  For field installation only. Style 889 couplings, when sufficiently pressurized, will allow pipe ends to separate to maximum point shown before joint acts in a
fully restrained manner. Style 889 rigid couplings are considered rigid connections and will not accommodate expansion/contraction or angular movement of
the piping system. Contact Victaulic for torsional resistance information.
