What are sleeve type and victaulic couplings commonly used for?

Sleeve type and Victaulic couplings are primarily designed for mechanical coupling applications in piping systems. These types of couplings facilitate the joining of pipe sections, allowing for expansion and contraction and providing a secure connection without the need for welding or threading.

Sleeve type couplings consist of a simple cylindrical sleeve that covers the ends of two pipes, while Victaulic couplings utilize a grooved design that allows for quick assembly and disassembly, making maintenance and system modifications easier. Their design makes them particularly beneficial in situations where flexibility, ease of installation, and reliability are crucial, such as in water distribution systems and other fluid transport scenarios.

In contrast, the other options such as electrical connections, insulation purposes, and fluid filtration are unrelated to the primary function of sleeve and Victaulic couplings.
