What is a victaulic fitting?

A Victaulic fitting is really a grooved end fitting that is used with grooved end pipe, joined with a coupling. These are found on a variety of commercial and industrial piping systems. Victaulic is the company that originated the grooved piping method so the name "Victaulic" is their registered trade name.

Can copper and galvanized pipes be used on the same fitting?

Yes and no. Pipes are pipes and many houses have both copper and galvinized. But copper and galvinized pipe must never come into direct contact with each other. You have to put what's called a dielectric fitting (available at your local hardware store) in between them. The problem is that without a dielectric fitting you'll get what's called electrolysis. Electrolysis eats holes in your pipes. Like I said, just put in a dielectric fitting. No sweat.
