FireLock EZ™ Rigid Coupling SEE VICTAULIC PUBLICATION 10.01 FOR DETAILS
STYLE 009
The Style 009 FireLock EZ rigid coupling is a revolutionary patent-pending new way to join
fire protection piping systems in the quickest manner possible. The unique design permits the
installer to assemble a joint without disassembling the bolts, nuts, gasket and housings. This
installation-ready coupling is easily stabbed on pipe grooved to Victaulic specifications, which
speeds and eases assembly. The Style 009 coupling reduces effort and eliminates the potential
of dropped fasteners.
The Style 009 provides rigidity with its angle bolt pad design. The Style 009 is rigid and does not
PATENT PENDING
accommodate expansion, contraction or angular deflection. Support and hanging requirements
correspond to NFPA 13 Sprinkler Systems.
Style 009 FireLock EZ rigid couplings with the Vic-Plus™ Gasket System are recommended for
use ONLY on fire protection systems.
Vic-Plus Gasket System:
Victaulic® offers a gasket system which requires no field lubrication on wet pipe systems that are
hydrostatically tested. The Vic-Plus™ System (patented) is dry, clean, and non-toxic. It reduces
assembly time substantially and eliminates the mess and chance of over-lubrication. Please refer
to the latest copy of the Victaulic Field Installation Handbook (I-100) for supplemental lubrication
requirements and for dry pipe fire protection systems.
