What is a groove coupling?
A grooved mechanical joining of two pipes means that a small groove is made at the end of each pipe with a grooving machine. The coupling parts, which are designed to fit in the grooves, mechanically lock the pipes together and the rubber gasket makes the connection airtight and watertight.

What is Victaulic coupling?
Victaulic couplings, or mechanical grooved couplings (also called mechanical pipe joining systems), are components that join mechanical pipes together to create a watertight joint. The metal housing – a sleeve of sorts – is then placed over the gasket and joined pipes and tightened with nuts and bolts.
What is the use of grooved joint?
A joint used to connect two steel pipes or ductile-iron pipes; employs an inner elastomeric gasket and an outer split-metallic sleeve with an integral bolt for tightening the assembly.
What are groove lock pliers used for?
Uses. Tongue-and-groove pliers are commonly used for turning and holding nuts and bolts, gripping irregularly shaped objects, and clamping materials. It is also possible to rotate objects while keeping them in one position.

What is a pipe groove?
The pipe groove is made by forming or machining an actual groove into the ends of two pipes. A gasket wraps around and on top of the pipe ends, the housings wrap around the gasket and sit in the pipe grooves, and the bolts and nuts are tightened with a wrench to hold it all together.
What does it mean to groove a pipe?
