Roll Groover Safety

• Keep hands away from groove rolls. Do not wear loose fitting gloves. Fingers can be crushed between groove rolls, groove roll and pipe or between pipe and stabilizer wheel.
• Keep hands away from ends of pipe. Do not reach inside pipe. Do not touch groove while operating. Burrs and sharp edges can catch and cut. Fingers can be crushed between groove rolls or between groove roll and pipe.
• Keep guards in place. Do not operate the roll groover with the guard removed. Exposure to groove rolls may result in entanglement and serious injury.
• Only groove pipe 8" (200 mm) or longer. Grooving shorter than specified pipe can result in entanglement and crushing injuries.
• Do not wear loose clothing when operating machine. Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned. Do not reach across the machine or pipe. Clothing can be caught by the pipe or machine resulting in entanglement.
• Do not use this roll groover with a power drive or threading machine that does not have a foot switch. Never block a foot switch in the ON position so it does not control the machine. A foot switch provides better control by letting you shut off the machine motor by removing your foot. If entanglement should occur and power is maintained to the motor, you will be pulled into the machine. This machine has high torque and can cause clothing to bind around your am or other body parts with enough force to crush or break bones or cause striking or other injuries.
• Be sure that the roll groover, pipe, stands and machine are stable. Be sure the roll groover is prop-

erly set up and secured. This will help prevent tipping of the equipment and pipe. Properly support the pipe. This will help to prevent the tipping of the pipe and equipment.

• Properly prepare and handle pipe. Burrs and sharp edges can catch and cut.
- One person must control the work process, machine operation and foot switch. Only the operator should be in the work area when the machine is running. This helps reduce the risk of injury.
- Restrict access or barricade the area when workpiece extends beyond machine to provide a minimum of one meter (3 feet) clearance from the workpiece. Restricting access or barricading the work area around the workpiece will reduce the risk of entanglement.
- Only use power drives and threading machines that operate under 58 rpm. Higher speed machines increase the risk of injury.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment while setting up and using the roll groover. Appropriate personal protective equipment always includes eye protection and may include equipment such as tight fitting leather gloves and steel toed footwear.
- Only use roll groover to groove pipe of recommended sizes and types according to these instructions. Other uses or modifying the roll groover for other applications may increase the risk of injury.
- Before operating roll groover, read and understand:

• This operator's manual
• The operators' manual for Power Drive or Threading Machine
- The fitting manufacturer's installation instructions

Description

The RIDGID® 918 Roll Groover is designed to form rolled grooves in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, PVC pipes and copper tubes. The grooves are formed by hydraulically advancing the groove roll into the pipe, which is supported by the drive roll.

The 918 Roll Groover typically includes two groove and drive roll sets for grooving pipe:

• 2"-6" schedule 10 and 40 steel pipe
• 8"-12" schedule 10 and 8" Schedule 40 steel pipe

Other materials can be grooved – see tables in appendix. Other groove and drive shaft sets are required for other sizes and copper tubing.

A two-stage hydraulic hand pump is used to advance the groove roll into the pipe to form grooves. An adjustment nut is included to control groove diameter.

An adjustable stabilizer is provided to aid in maintaining tracking and control of the pipe during grooving, especially pipe lengths approaching the 8" minimum pipe length.

The groover can be driven by a variety of RIDGID machines. Different mounting kits are required for each machine.

Operation

WARNING

Keep hands away from grooving rolls. Do not wear loose fitting gloves. Fingers can be crushed between groove rolls, groove roll and pipe or between pipe and stabilizer wheel.

Keep hands away from ends of pipe. Do not reach inside pipe. Do not touch groove while operating. Burrs and sharp edges can catch and cut. Fingers

can be crushed between groove rolls or between groove rolls and pipe.

Keep guards in place. Do not operate the roll groover with the guard removed. Exposure to groove rolls may result in entanglement and serious injury.

Only groove pipe 8" (200 mm) or longer. Grooving shorter than specified pipe can result in entanglement and crushing injuries.

Do not use this roll groover with a power drive or threading machine that does not have a foot switch. Never block a foot switch in the ON position so it does not control the machine. A foot switch provides better control by letting you shut off the machine motor by removing your foot. If entanglement should occur and power is maintained to the motor, you will be pulled into the machine. This machine has high torque and can cause clothing to bind around your am or other body parts with enough force to crush or break bones or cause striking or other injuries.

Be sure that the roll groover, pipe, stands and machine are stable. Be sure the roll groover is properly set up and secured. This will help prevent tipping of the equipment and pipe. Properly support the pipe. This will help to prevent the tipping of the pipe and equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Wear steel toe footwear to help protect from tipping tools and falling pipe.

Set up and operate the roll groover according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from machine tipping, entanglement, crushing, striking and other causes, and to help prevent equipment damage.

1. Confirm that the machine and work area is properly set up and that the work area is free of bystanders and other distractions. The operator should be the only person in the area when the machine is operated.
2. Position the foot switch for proper operation as shown in Figure 18.
3. Check the roll groover for proper operation. While keeping your hands clear of moving parts:

- Move the power drive/threading machine REV/O-OFF/FOR switch to the REV position. Press and release the foot switch. Drive roll should rotate clockwise (see Figure 14) matching the pipe rotation decal on the groover. If the groover does not rotate in the correct direction, or the foot switch does not control the machine operation, do not use the machine until it has been repaired.

- Depress and hold the foot switch. Inspect the moving parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises or any other unusual conditions. Confirm that the machine rotates less than 58 rpm. Higher speeds can increase the risk of injury. Remove foot from the foot switch. If any unusual conditions are found, do not use the machine until it has been repaired.

- Move the REV/O-OFF/FOR switch to the OFF position, and with dry hands unplug the machine.

Pipe Preparation

NOTICE These are generalized instructions. Always follow grooved coupling manufacturer's specific recommendations for pipe end preparation. Failure to follow these recommendations may lead to an improper connection and cause leaks.

1. Be aware of pipe specifications acceptable for grooving. Out of specification pipe can cause leaks and other issues. Pipe out-of-roundness must not exceed total O.D. tolerance listed in the Standard Roll Groove Specifications, Table II.

2. Cut pipe to proper length. Be aware of the minimum pipe lengths for grooving.

3. 5" and smaller diameter pipe should not be shorter than 8" (200 mm) long.

4. 6" to 12" diameter pipe should not be shorter than 10" (250 mm) long.

Grooving shorter pipe increases the risk of injury from crushed fingers and entanglement.

1. Make sure pipe end is cut square and free of burrs. Burrs can catch or cut gloves or fingers during grooving. Cut off method and large burrs can affect the quality of the groove made and tracking of the groover. Do not attempt to groove pipe that has been cut with a torch.
2. Remove all internal/external weld beads, flash, seams, scale, dirt, rust and other contaminants at least 2" back from the end of the pipe. Do not cut flats into gasket seat area, this could cause leaks. Contaminants can clog the drive knurls and prevent proper driving and tracking of the pipe while grooving.

Advance/Retract The Groove Roll

The movement of the groove roll is controlled by the hydraulic pump.

• To advance the groove roll, move the pump lever to the advance position, then move the pump handle up and down.
• To retract the groove roll, move the pump lever to the retract position. See Figure 11.

Figure 11 – Pump Release Lever Position

Loading Pipe in Roll Groover

1. Confirm that the machine switch is in the OFF position.
2. Fully retract the groove roll.
3. Appropriate pipe stands must be available to support the pipe. Adjust the height of the pipe stands so that the pipe will be level and the top inner diameter of the pipe will sit on top of the drive roll (see Figure 12).

Place the pipe stands directly in front of the roll groover. Pipe stand placement depends on the pipe length.

For shorter pipe (see Chart A) the pipe is supported by the drive shaft and at least one stand. In this case, the stand should be placed slightly more than half the length of the pipe from the roll groover.

Chart A - Minimum/maximum pipe length to be grooved with one stand (in inches)

For longer pipes at least two stands should be used, with the two stands placed approximately 1/4 of the pipe length from the ends of pipe. Failure to properly support the pipe may allow the pipe or the pipe and machine to tip and fall. Always use a pipe stand – it helps to align the pipe and maintain proper tracking.

Figure 13 – Leveling Pipe

1. Advance the groove roll until it touches and lightly grips the pipe (Do not drive the groove roll into the pipe).

2. Confirm the pipe positioning. If the pipe is not properly positioned, the groove may not track properly.

3. The pipe end should be flush against the driveshaft flange.

4. The centerline of the pipe and the centerline of the drive shaft should be parallel. This can be checked with a level on top of the hydraulic cylinder and on the pipe. See Figure 13.

5. The roll groover/machine should be sitting firmly on the ground. If the machine is lifting off the ground at all, the pipe stand(s) are set improperly and should be adjusted.

6. Preferred Operation – Switch in REV Setting: Slightly offset the pipe and pipe stands approximately 1/2 degree (about 1" over at 10 feet from the roll groover) towards the operatoProper alignment of the pipe and roll groover helps to ensure proper tracking of the pipe while grooving (see Figure 14). This is proper offset for grooving with the machine in the REV switch setting, and works with the stabilizer.

Alternate Operation – Switch in FOR Setting: If using the machine in the FOR switch setting (such as with a 535 Auto Chuck Machine not converted to grip in both directions), then offset the pipe and pipe stands approximately 1/2 degree (about 1" over at 10 feet from the roll groover) away from the operator (see Figure 15). The pipe stabilizer cannot be used with the FOR switch setting – it may cause pipe to spiral out of the roll set.

1. Restrict access or set up guards or barriers to create a minimum 3' (1m) clearance around the equipment and pipe. This helps prevent non-operators from contacting the equipment or pipe and reduces the risk of tipping or entanglement.
2. With dry hands, plug the power drive/threading machine into a properly grounded outlet.

Setting/Adjusting Groove Diameter

NOTICE Due to differing pipe characteristics, a test groove should always be performed before the first groove of the day or when changing pipe size, schedule, material, or lot to reduce the risk of out of tolerance grooves. Groove diameter must be measured to confirm proper size.

1. Confirm that equipment is properly set up and pipe is properly prepared and loaded. Improper set up and preparation can affect accuracy of groove diameter settings.
2. Groove roll should be lightly gripping the pipe. If needed, advance the groove roll to just touch and lightly grip the pipe – it should not be making an indentation in the pipe, do not apply excessive pressure.
3. Rotate the depth adjustment nut until it stops against main housing.
4. Back the depth adjustment nut off one turn (Figure 16).

Increase Groove Diameter Decrease Groove Diameter Each Mark Approx. 0.002" (0.05mm)

Figure 16 – Depth Adjustment Nut Setting

1. Make a test groove.

2. Inspect/measure the test groove. If the groove diameter is not in specification, the depth adjustment nut must be repositioned to give the correct groove diameter. See Figure 16.

3. To increase groove diameter (shallower groove), turn the depth adjustment nut clockwise.

4. To decrease groove diameter (deeper groove), turn the depth adjustment nut counter-clockwise.

5. Each 14 turn of the depth adjustment nut changes the groove diameter approximately 0.025" (0.6 mm). Moving the nut one mark on the circumference changes groove diameter approximately 0.002" (0.05 mm).

6. Repeat steps 4-6 until the groove diameter is within specifications. If the groove is too large, the groover can be adjusted and the groove made smaller. If the groove is too small, another groove will need to be made. Proper groove diameter is important to insure connection performance. Out of specification grooves could cause joint failure.

Stabilizer Operation

The stabilizer is used to apply slight force to 2^1/2 " to 12" pipe to improve tracking. It is especially useful for short pieces of pipe, but can be used on all lengths of pipe. The stabilizer also reduces the swaying of longer, larger diameter pipe.

The stabilizer can only be used with the machine REV/O-OFF/FOR switch in the REV position (pipe rotation marked on groover, Figure 17). If used with the machine REV/O-OFF/FOR switch in the FOR position, the pipe will spiral/track out of the groove rolls.

1. Properly set up equipment and load pipe.
2. Set groove diameter.
3. Rotate the stabilizer crank handle to bring the roller in contact with the pipe. Rotate the crank handle an additional one (1) turn to preload the roller against the pipe (Figure 17). Do not reach across the pipe to adjust the stabilizer.
4. Groove pipe. During use, keep hands away from the groove rolls, stabilizer wheel and end of pipe. Do not groove pipe shorter than specifications and do not reach inside pipe or touch the groove. This reduces the risk of crushing injuries.

If during grooving the pipe does not track properly, step off foot switch and stop grooving. Set up a new groove and rotate the crank handle an additional one half ( 12 ) turn to increase preload. Do not use excessive preload. This can damage the roller.

Once the stabilizer is set for a given size and type of material, it generally does not need to be readjusted or backed off when pipe is loaded and unloaded.

Grooving Operation

1. Confirm that equipment is properly set up and pipe is properly prepared and loaded. Do not groove pipe shorter than 8".
2. Set groove diameter.
3. If needed, set the stabilizer position.
4. Assume a proper operating position to help maintain control of the machine and pipe (see Figure 18).

Man operating a large mechanical device on a tripod stand (no visible text or symbols)

Figure 18 – Proper Operating Position

• Stand facing the roll groover on the REV/O-OFF/FOR switch side of the machine with convenient access to the switch, pump handle and pipe. Your left hand will be on the pump handle, and your right hand is clear of the pipe unless applying slight force to the pipe to maintain tracking (see Tracking Tips section).
• Be sure that you can control the foot switch. Do not step on foot switch yet. In case of emergency you must be able to release the foot switch.

• Be sure that you have good footing and balance and do not have to overreach.

• Move the REV/O-OFF/FOR to the REV position.

• Apply approximately a quarter stroke of the pump handle to force the groove roll into the pipe.

• Depress the foot switch. The pipe will start to turn. Allow one full pipe rotation between quarter strokes of the pump handle. Do not advance the groove roll too aggressively – this can cause the pipe to spiral out of the roll set and poor groove form. Keep your hands clear of the groove set, pipe end and stabilizer wheel. Do not reach inside the pipe or touch groove.

Monitor the pipe as it is grooved. The end of the pipe should stay in contact with the drive shaft flange, and the pipe should stay in position. If the pipe starts to move out of position, step off of the foot switch and stop grooving. Keep your body clear in case the pipe comes out of the grip of the roll set. If the pipe starts to come out of position stop grooving and check set up. If the pipe end is damaged, a new groove will need to be prepared.

Continue applying a quarter stroke of the pump handle every pipe rotation.

When using the 1" roll set, it is especially important to not apply excessive force (improper groove diameter setting, undersized grooves, more than a quarter stroke of pump handle per rotation). This can damage the 1" drive roll.

1. When the depth adjustment nut contacts the top of the groover, allow the pipe to rotate at least two more full rotations to ensure uniform groove depth.
2. Remove foot from the foot switch.
3. Move the REV/O-OFF/FOR switch to the OFF position.
4. Retract the groove roll and remove the pipe from the roll groover.
5. Inspect and measure the groove.

Tracking Tips

A typical issue while roll grooving is the pipe "spiraling" or "walking off" the drive shaft or not "tracking" properly.

For good tracking, it is important that all instructions be followed. If, even after following all instructions, the pipe will not properly track; there are other options to improve tracking.

• Slightly increase the offset of the pipe (increase from 2 degree to 1 degree) See Figure 14.
• Tighten the stabilizer crank handle an additional f_2 turn.
• The operator may need to apply slight force on the pipe while grooving to maintain tracking. This is usually only needed on shorter pieces of pipe when the stabilizer is not used. To do this, the operator should wear a leather glove in good condition and cup their hand around the pipe as shown in Figure 19 to pull the pipe slightly towards them. This may require that the power drive/threading machine stand be fixed to the floor to prevent movement during grooving. To reduce the risk of crushing and cutting injuries, keep hand away from the groove roll and the ends of the pipe, do not groove pipe shorter than recommended and do not reach inside pipe or touch groove.

Figure 19 – Applying Pressure on Pipe with Power Drive in REV direction

If the machine is run in the FOR direction, the stabilizer cannot be used. Move the stabilizer wheel away from the pipe. If the stabilizer is used in FOR, the pipe will spiral out of the groove rolls. If needed, the operator should wear a leather glove in good condition and use their right hand to push pipe slightly away from them as shown in Figure 20.

Inspect/Measure the Groove

1. Inspect the groove.

• Make sure that all features are present and fully formed. See Table II and Figure 30.
• Measure the groove diameter and make sure it is within specification.
- Check any other items required by the fitting manufacturer.
- Test the system in accordance with local codes and normal practice.

If any problems are found, the groove cannot be used. Proper groove diameter is important to ensure connection performance. Out of specification grooves could cause joint failure.

1. Measure the groove diameter with diameter tape (see Optional Equipment Section). Snugly wrap the diameter tape around the pipe in the groove. Make sure that the tape sits flat in the bottom of the groove, and read the groove diameter (see Figure 21). Compare the measured groove diameter to the required groove diameter as shown in Table II or III or as specified by the groove fitting manufacturer.

Preparing Machine for Transport

Before transporting, remove the 918 from the power drive/threading machine. Be aware of the equipment weight. Use appropriate methods when lifting or moving.

Storage

⚠ WARNING The 918 Roll Groover must be kept in-doors or well covered in rainy weather. Store the machine in a locked area that is out of reach of children and people unfamiliar with roll groovers. This machine can cause serious injury in the hands of untrained users.

Maintenance Instructions

WARNING

Make sure machine is unplugged from power source before performing maintenance or making any adjustments.

Maintain the 918 Roll Groover according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury.

Cleaning

Use a soft damp cloth to clean the roll groover.

Clean the drive roll knurls with a wire brush before use and as necessary during operation. When grooving stainless steel pipe, thoroughly clean the entire roll set with a stainless steel wire brush.

Lubrication

On a monthly basis (or more often if needed), lubricate the groover with a lithium based general purpose grease. Always lubricate the roll groover after roll set changes.

- Lubricate the groover at grease fittings (See Figure 22). Add grease until a small amount pushes out.

How long coverage lasts

This warranty lasts for the lifetime of the RIDGID® tool. Warranty coverage ends when the product becomes unusable for reasons other than defects in workmanship or material.

How you can get service

What is not covered

Failures due to misuse, abuse or normal wear and tear are not covered by this warranty. RIDGE TOOL shall not be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages.

How local law relates to the warranty

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
