PIPE SETUP
For proper tool operation and production of
grooves that are within Victaulic specifications,
the following guidelines must be followed .
1.
Victaulic requires square-cut pipe for use with
grooved-end pipe products .
2.
Raised external weld beads, seams, and
burrs must be ground flush with the pipe surface
2 inches/50 mm back from the pipe ends .
3.
All coarse scale, dirt, and other foreign
material must be removed from the interior and
exterior surfaces of the pipe ends .
CAUTION
• For maximum tool life, remove foreign
material from the interior and exterior
surfaces of the pipe ends.
Foreign material may interfere with or
damage the tool, resulting in property
damage or personal injury.
4.
Place pipe stands at locations appropriate for
the length of pipe to be grooved .
NOTICE
• When grooving pipe from 4.5 to 6.75
inches in length, leave 2 inches of pipe
extended from the front of the chuck.
When grooving longer pipe lengths, leave
2–4.5 inches of pipe extended from the
front of the chuck.
• Do not tighten the chuck on the first
0.75 inches of the pipe.
• When grooving pipe long enough to
extend into the rear chuck of the power
drive, tighten the rear chuck to center the
pipe length.
5.
Insert the pipe into the power drive and
tighten the chuck at the proper pipe length .
While holding the pipe with one hand, use the
other hand to firmly pull the power drive hand
wheel in a counterclockwise motion until the
chuck securely grips the pipe .
WARNING
• To prevent damage to the gasket sealing
surface, pipe lengths shall be a minimum
of 4.5 inches/114 mm.
Failure to follow this instruction will cause
improper product assembly and joint failure,
resulting in serious personal injury and
property damage.
