INTRODUCTION

The Victaulic® Vic-Easy® Series 416 tool is 
available in two (2) different models . Both are 
designed to roll groove pipe of various materials 
and wall thicknesses to prepare it to receive 
Victaulic grooved pipe couplings (see Tool 
Rating and Roll Selection chart pages 29 and 
30) . Both are semi-automatic hydraulic feed 
tools intended for shop or field use .
The VE416FSD is a completely self contained 
unit with a gear motor, safety foot switch, and 
power cord/plug . The VE416FS requires a 
separate power drive . See Power Drive section, 
below .

 CAUTION

•  These tools should only be used for roll 

grooving pipe designated in the Tool 
Rating and Roll Selection chart on pages 
29 and 30.

Use of the tools for other purposes or 
exceeding the pipe thickness maximums will 
overload the tools, shorten tool life and may 
cause tool damage.

Power Drive

The VE416FS tool is designed for power 
operation by mounting directly onto a Victaulic 
VPD752 or a Ridgid 300

®

 power drive, (45 

rpm maximum chuck speed) . Consult drive 
manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation

 DANGER

•  To reduce the risk of 

electric shock, check 
the electrical source for 
proper grounding and 
follow the instructions 
below.

•  Before performing any repair or 

maintenance, disconnect the tool from 
the electrical source.

Failure to do so could result in death or 
serious personal injury.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Power must be supplied through a safety foot 
switch to assure safe operation (standard on 
VE416FSD) . Be sure the power drive is properly 
grounded in accordance with Article 250 of the 
National Electrical Code . If an extension cord is 
to be used, see Extension Cord Requirements 
chart on page 4 for cord size recommendations 
and always consult drive manufacturer’s 
instructions prior to use .
