No, Victaulic fittings are not recommended for use with methane gas due to the potential risk of gas leakage. It is important to use fittings that are specifically designed and approved for use with methane gas to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
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. The correct generic terminology for these fittings is simply grooved end fittings.
Victaulic was created in 1925.
