Victaulic introduced the Style DLY Delta-Y assembly, a combination of pre-assembled Victaulic cast grooved fittings, rigid couplings and butterfly valves. The Delta-Y assembly is designed specifically for bulk cement/barite systems on offshore oil platforms and is ideal for drilling mud and other associated systems. The Delta-Y assembly offers quick and simple installation, space and weight savings, efficient operation and reduced maintenance downtime.
The Victaulic Delta-Y assembly reduces fitting and valve installation time. Each pre-assembled unit is delivered complete with all fittings and valves oriented correctly as required by system design. The unit is joined to the piping system with three Style 107 QuickVic rigid couplings, easing installation.
In comparison to flanged and welded assemblies, the Victaulic Delta-Y offers significant weight and space savings. At less than half the weight of lug butterfly valves with flanges, Vic-300 MasterSeal butterfly valves provide considerable weight reduction. Weight savings can exceed 91kg per delta. In addition, the Delta-Y can reduce the overall delta length by 300mm.
The Delta-Y assembly is also available with 5D Long Sweep fittings that increase fitting life and maximise flow capabilities for faster cementing operation. The Victaulic Style DLY Delta-Y assembly is available in 5” and 6” pipe sizes (125mm and 150mm) and has a pressure rating of 300psi.
