CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
THE TOOL PRIOR TO GROOVING
Every Victaulic roll grooving tool is checked,
adjusted, and tested at the factory prior to
shipment. However, before attempting to operate
the tool, the following checks and adjustments
should be made to ensure proper tool operation.
WARNING
• Always turn off the main power supply
to the tool before making any tool
adjustments.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in serious personal injury.
GROOVING ROLLS
Make sure the proper roll set is installed on the
tool for the pipe/tubing size and material that will
be grooved. Roll sets are marked with the pipe
size, part number, and they are color coded for
the pipe material. Refer to the applicable “Tool
Rating and Roll Selection” section. If the proper
rolls are not installed on the tool, refer to the
“Roll Changing” section.
CAUTION
• Make sure the lower-roll retaining bolt is
tight.
A loose lower-roll retaining bolt could cause
damage to the tool and rolls.
ADJUSTING THE ROLL GUARDS
The VE460 tool features a
“SET GUARD”
control switch setting. With the correct pipe
size and schedule inserted in the tool, the
“SET
GUARD”
setting allows the operator to complete
the necessary guard adjustments.
1.
Loosen the knob on the front of the roll
guards to raise the plate to its highest
position. Tighten the knob.
2. Insert a length of pipe that is the correct
size and schedule over the lower roll. Make
sure the pipe end contacts the lower-
roll backstop flange. The pipe must rest
directly on top of the roll and must not be
skewed to one side or the other.
