SOLUTION
Pipe will not stay in grooving
rolls.
Incorrect pipe positioning of long pipe length.

Improper manual grooving technique.
Refer to the “Grooving Operation” section.
Lower roll and pipe are not rotating clockwise.
Refer to the “Tool Setup” section.
Pipe stops rotating during
grooving.
Rust or dirt build-up is present on the lower
roll.
Remove any rust or dirt accumulation from the lower roll with
a stiff wire brush.
The grooving rolls are worn.
Inspect the lower roll for worn knurls. Replace the lower roll if
excessive wear is present.
The power drive chuck is not properly engaged
into the drive shaft notched flats.
Refer to the “Tool Setup” section.
The circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has
blown out on the electrical circuit that supplies
the power drive.
Reset the breaker, or replace the fuse.
Pipe flare is excessive.
Pipe support is adjusted too high for long pipe. Lower the pipe support.
Tool is tilted forward (out of level) while
grooving long pipe.
Refer to the "Tool Setup" section.
Incorrect pipe support positioning of long
pipe. Pipe is “over-tracking”.
Move the pipe support to the right.
The tool will not groove
the pipe.
Pipe is beyond the tool’s capabilities in
diameter or wall thickness.
Refer to the “Tool Rating and Roll Selection” section.
Pipe material is incorrect.
Use correct pipe material.
Shear pin(s) has broken.
Rolls are being fed too fast.
Remove the damaged shear pin(s) and replace with a new
shear pin. Refer to the “Shear Pin Replacement” section.
Groove the pipe at a slower rate.
Pipe is beyond the wall thickness capacity of
the tool, or the pipe material is too hard.
Remove the damaged shear pin(s) and replace with a new
shear pin. Refer to the “Shear Pin Replacement” section.
Groove pipe that is within the capacity of the tool. Refer to the
“Tool Rating and Roll Selection” section.
The feed mechanism is binding, damaged,
or insufficiently lubricated.
Repair and lubricate the feed mechanism, as required.
“A” dimension is out of
specification.
Tool is not fully pushed onto the pipe.
Cut off the pipe end. Regroove the pipe with the tool pushed all
the way onto the pipe end.
Incorrect roll set used for grooving.
Verify that the roll set is the appropriate size for the pipe to be
grooved. Install the correct roll set for the pipe to be grooved.
In the event of tool malfunction outside the scope of the troubleshooting section, contact Victaulic for
