This was sent to more than one of us, looks like a simple case of too much vic lube. Have a similar situation on a job the installer just finished in Dec, before going under. Despite the manufacturer's rep stopping in at the site, telling them not to lube the pre-lubed gaskets, they did. Now its dripping on product.

Excessive lubricant. Improper grooving (too deep or shallow) Mismatched components with different tolerances (Grinnell fitting-Vic coupling) Frequent draining and filling of system will make these problems more apparent due to the contracting and expanding of the gasket along with the introduction of air into the system.
