WARNING
• The power drive MUST be operated with a
safety foot switch. If the power drive does
not contain a safety foot switch, contact
the power drive manufacturer.
• Operating the tool without a safety foot
switch could result in serious personal
injury.
10.
Turn the power drive switch to the position
that will produce
clockwise
rotation of the chuck
when viewed from the front of the tool . On the
Victaulic VPD752 or Ridgid 300 Power Drive,
placing the switch in the
REVERSE
position will
produce
clockwise
rotation of the chuck, lower
roll, and pipe/tubing .
11. Depress the safety foot switch, check
the rotation of the chuck and lower roll, and
ensure that the tool is stable . If rotation is
counterclockwise , place the switch on the
power drive in the opposite position . If the
tool wobbles, ensure that the tool is mounted
squarely in the chuck and that the tool is level
on the floor . If the wobble persists, the power
drive support arms are bent or the power drive
is damaged . Have the power drive repaired if the
wobble persists .
PREPARATION FOR GROOVING
The VE26 tool design eliminates the need for roll
changes . However, before attempting to operate
the tool, ensure that the correct tool is used for
the pipe/tubing size and material being grooved .
Refer to “Tool Rating And Roll Selection” for
details .
PIPE/TUBING PREPARATION
For proper tool operation and production of
grooves that are within Victaulic specifications,
the following guidelines must be followed .
1. Victaulic recommends square-cut pipe/tubing
for use with grooved-end pipe/tubing products .
Square-cut pipe/tubing MUST be used with
Victaulic FlushSeal
® gaskets . Beveled-end pipe/
tubing may be used for other applications,
provided that the wall thickness is standard wall
(ANSI B36 .10) or less and that the bevel meets
ANSI B16 .25 (371/2º) or ASTM A-53 (30°) .
NOTE: Roll grooving beveled-end pipe/tubing
may result in unacceptable flare .
2. Raised internal and external weld beads and
seams must be ground flush with the pipe/
tubing surface 2 inches/50 mm back from the
pipe/tubing ends .
3. All coarse scale, dirt, and other foreign
material must be removed from the interior and
exterior surfaces of the pipe/tubing ends .
CAUTION
For maximum grooving roll life, remove
foreign material and loose rust from the
interior and exterior surfaces of the pipe/
tubing ends. Rust is an abrasive material
that will wear the surface of grooving rolls.
Foreign material may interfere with or
damage grooving rolls, resulting in distorted
grooves and grooves that are out of Victaulic
specifications.
