ROLL CHANGING
The VE272SFS roll grooving tool is designed
with rolls to accommodate several pipe/tub-
ing sizes, which eliminates the need for fre-
quent roll changes.
An upper roll and a “Keyless” lower roll for 8 –
12-inch steel pipe are factory installed on the
tool. When 2 – 6-inch steel pipe or other pipe
materials are required for grooving, the upper
and lower rolls must be changed. Refer to the
following sections:
1.
"Upper Roll Removal" section on
page 25
2.
"Lower Roll Removal for 2-inch and
Larger Sizes" section on page 24

quire different rolls. For proper roll selection,
refer to the "Tool Rating and Roll Selection"
section, starting on page 39.

personal injury.
