TOOL SETUP
RG1200 tools can be used to groove pipe that
is supported by several different methods . Refer
to the setup instructions listed in this section for
different grooving options .
PIPE VISE SETUP
1. When grooving pipe that is supported with a
pipe vise, select a location for the tool and pipe
vise by taking into consideration the following
factors:
a. Adequate space to handle pipe lengths
b.
A firm and level surface for the pipe vise
c. Anchoring requirements for the pipe vise
2.
Mount a chain-type pipe vise onto a stand or
workbench . The pipe vise should be mounted
flush with, or slightly overhanging, the edge
of the stand or workbench . When the tool is
mounted on the pipe, the tool must be able
to rotate freely around the pipe without being
obstructed by the stand or workbench .
3. Secure a length of pipe in the pipe vise .
Pipe position and pipe vise anchoring must be
capable of handling the weight of the tool
(27 .7 pounds/12 .6 kilograms), plus the manual
effort required to operate the tool (approximately
75 ft-lbs/101 .7 N•m of torque) .
Position the pipe to overhang the pipe vise by
approximately 8 inches/203 .2 mm, so that the
tool can rotate freely .
4.
Mount the tool on the pipe, then turn the
groove diameter adjustment nut clockwise to
lower the upper roll until the tool rests snugly on
the pipe .
GROOVE-IN-PLACE SETUP
DANGER
• Depressurize and drain
the piping system before
attempting to adjust or
disassemble any Victaulic
piping products.
• Pipe hangers must be capable of handling
the weight of the tool and the manual
effort required to operate the tool.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious personal injury
and property damage.
Previously installed pipe may be grooved
with a RG1200 tool, provided that the pipe
is supported securely and that the system is
completely depressurized and drained . Pipe
hangers must be capable of handling the weight
of the tool (27 .7 pounds/12 .6 kilograms), plus
the manual effort required to operate the tool
(approximately 75 ft-lbs/101 .7 N•m of torque) .
1.
Ensure that there is adequate clearance
around the pipe to permit proper tool rotation
during the grooving process . Refer to the “Tool
Dimensions and Specifications” section .
2. Mount the tool on the pipe, then turn the
groove diameter adjustment nut clockwise to
lower the upper roll until the tool rests snugly on
the pipe .
