Piping systems must always be depressurized and drained before attempting disassembly and removal of any
Victaulic piping products.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, property damage, joint leakage or joint separation.
• Victaulic products for HDPE pipe must be installed using non-soap based lubricants. Corn oil, soybean oil, glycerin,
silicone oil or silicone release agent must be used. DO NOT USE Victaulic lubricant, hydrocarbon based oils,
greases or soap based solutions.
• Use of HDPE couplings on other pipe materials or with soap based lubricants may result in property damage or
serious personal injury.

Gasket compatibility only. Plastic pipes are designed to have a specific rating at a temperature
of +73°F (+23°C). Any variation of the temperature will have an effect on the static pressure
rating of the pipe, thus, as the temperature increases, the pressure rating will decrease. Con-
tact the pipe manufacturer for temperature and pressure limitations of their pipe.
