Duplex Stainless Steel
Flexible Coupling
STYLE 77DX

The Style 77DX is designed to provide a rugged mechanical joint for roll grooved Type 304/316
stainless steel and cut grooved duplex/super duplex stainless steel piping systems. Style 77DX
couplings are available in sizes - 6"/20 - 150mm, and are cast of duplex and/or super duplex
stainless steel. Style 77DX couplings come standard with WRAS-certified, Grade "EW" EPDM
gasket material with approved microbiological resistance. 6"/20 150MM
See page 3 for pressure ratings based on ANSI wall thicknesses and page 4 for pressure ratings
for ISO wall thicknesses.

NOTE: For sizes 8 18"/200 450mm, Type 316 stainless steel flexible couplings, please see
submittal publication 17.03 for the Style 77S Stainless Steel Flexible Coupling.

Allowable Pipe End Separation and Deflection figures show the maximum nominal range of movement
available at each joint for standard roll grooved pipe. Figures for standard cut grooved pipe may be doubled.
These figures are maximums; for design and installation purposes these figures should be reduced by: 50%
for 3/4 - 31/2"/20 - 90mm; 25% for 4"/100mm and larger.

general notes Working Pressure and End Load are total, from all internal and external loads, based on stainless
steel pipe, roll grooved with Victaulic rolls in accordance with Victaulic specifications. RX rolls
must be used for Schedules 5S, 10S and 10. Standard rolls should be used for Schedule 40S and
Standard Weight pipe. Contact Victaulic for performance on other pipe or cut grooved pipe. See
submittal publication 24.01 for more information pertaining to tools.
WARNING: FOR ONE TIME FIELD TEST ONLY, the Maximum Joint Working Pressure may be
increased to 11/2 times the figures shown.
Metric thread size bolts are available for all coupling sizes upon request. Contact Victaulic for details.
WARNING: Depressurize and drain the piping system before attempting to install, remove, or adjust
any Victaulic piping products.
