Frequently Asked Questions - RT3422 RIDGID

What types of pipes can the RT3422 tap?
The RT3422 can tap steel, plastic, ductile iron, and cast iron pipes, subject to pressure limits.
What is the maximum allowable pressure for tapping a water line?
For water, the maximum pressure is 500 PSIG (34.5 bar) at 100°F (38°C).
What drive systems can be used with the RT3422?
The machine can be driven by a manual ratchet, pneumatic ratchet, or pistol-grip drill. For natural gas, use only pneumatic or manual systems.
How to install the valve adapter on the RT3422?
After checking the O-ring, hand-tighten the adapter onto the bronze feed screw until you feel a sudden stop. Hand-tightening is sufficient.
What is the maximum bit stroke?
The maximum bit travel is 14 inches (35.6 cm). It may vary depending on the configuration (valve adapter and bit used).
How to avoid perforating the opposite pipe wall during tapping?
Calculate the ideal penetration distance by adding the valve offset to the maximum stroke and dividing by 2. Do not exceed this distance.
What regular maintenance is required for the RT3422?
After each use, clean and dry all components. Replace graphite seals every 20 taps or 6 months (whichever comes first).
Can I use a standard electric drill to drive the RT3422?
Yes, provided it is equipped with a pistol grip and plugged into a GFCI outlet. Avoid for natural gas due to spark risk.
What to do if the valve does not close after tapping due to chips?
Connect a hose to the purge valve, open it to flush out chips, then open and close the valve until it closes completely.
Where can I get my RT3422 repaired?
Take the machine to an authorized RIDGID repair center or return it to Ridge Tool Company. To find a repair center, contact customer service at (800) 519-3456 or visit ridgid.com.
