Description, Specifications and Equipment

Description

The RIDGID No. 915 Roll Groover is designed to manually form standard roll grooves on pipe or copper tube that is installed. The 915 is lightweight, only 23 lbs., and capable of grooving steel, stainless steel, PVC and aluminum pipe from 1^1/4 to 12^ and 2^ to 8^ copper tube (Type K, L, M, and DWV). The 1^1/2 hand ratchet rotates a feed screw that advances a groove roll into the pipe/tube to form a groove that meets specifications required for mechanical coupling systems, and also drives the 915 around the pipe.

CAUTION When properly used, the Model 915 Roll Groover makes grooves that are dimensionally within the specifications of AWWA C606-87. Selection of appropriate materials and joining methods is the responsibility of the system designer and/or installer. Before any installation is attempted, careful evaluation of the specific service environment, including chemical environment and service temperature, should be completed.

Roll Groover Inspection

WARNING

To prevent serious injury, inspect your Roll Groover. The following inspection procedures should be performed on a daily basis:

1. Inspect the Roll Groover for any broken, missing, misarranged or binding parts as well as any other conditions which may affect the safe and normal operation of this equipment. If any of these conditions are present, do not use the Roll Groover until any problem has been repaired.

2. Lubricate the Roll Groover if necessary according to the Maintenance Instructions.

3. Use groover rolls and accessories that are designed for your Roll Groover and meet the needs of your application. The correct groover tools and accessories allow you to do the job successfully and safely. Accessories designed for use with other equipment may be hazardous when used with this Roll Groover.

4. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all handles and controls. This reduces the risk of injury due to a tool or control slipping from your grip.
5. Inspect the groove rolls to insure they are not damaged or worn. Worn groover rolls can lead to slippage and poor quality grooves.

To prevent serious injury, proper set-up of the Groover and work area is required. The following procedures should be fol- lowed to set-up the machine:

1. Insure work area has adequate lighting.
2. Clean up the work area prior to setting up any equipment. Always wipe up any oil that may be present.
3. Check the groove and drive rolls to insure they are the correct size.

CAUTION Use of roll sets on both carbon and stainless steel pipe can lead to contamination of the stainless steel material. This contamination could cause corrosion and premature pipe failure. To prevent ferrous contamination, use roll sets dedicated for stainless steel grooving.

1. Make sure pipe/tube is secured and not free to rotate prior to roll grooving.

- If pipe is not installed, use a bench vise or tristand vise to secure the pipe. Pipe supports must be used if pipe is greater than 36" in length.

⚠ WARNING Failure to properly support the pipe can result in the pipe falling.

Place vise and stands on a flat level surface. Be sure the pipe, vise and stands are stable.

- If the pipe/tube is installed, care must be taken to prevent pipe rotation or movement. Make sure that the added weight and force required of the 915 can be supported by the pipe hangers and clamps.

Do not wear loose clothing when operating a Roll Groover. Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned.

Always wear eye protection to protect eyes from dirt and other foreign objects. When working overhead, wear a hard hat and keep personnel clear of area.

Keep hands away from grooving rolls. Do not wear loose fitting gloves when operating groovers. Use pipe stands to support pipe when using a pipe vise.

Unit to be hand driven only. Do not power with drill or other types of units.

Pipe Preparation

1. Make sure pipe/tube end is cut square and free of burrs. Do not attempt to groove pipe that has been cut with a torch.
2. Pipe/tube out-of-roundness must not exceed the total O.D. tolerances listed in the dimension specification (Table 1).

NOTE! Determine out-of-roundness by measuring maximum and minimum outside dimensions at 90 degree increments. Compare minimum and maximum numbers with pipe diameter column in Table 1.

1. All internal or external weld beads, flash or seams must be ground flush at least 2" back from the pipe end.

IMPORTANT! Do not grind flats on the pipe outside wall where the coupling gasket seals (gasket seat area).

1. The 915 Roll Groover will orbit around the pipe/tube. Care must be taken that adequate space is provided completely around material.

NOTE! The RIDGID 915 can roll groove pipe/tube within 3^1/2 of a wall, ceiling or any other obstruction.

915 Roll Groover Set-up

IMPORTANT! To confirm the proper groove depth, test grooves should be performed and checked with a Pi tape.

1. At a bench or on the ground, rotate the feed screw counter clockwise to "open" the groove roll from the drive roll (Figure 2).

RIDGID ^3 tools are warranted to be free of defects in workmanship and material.

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

To obtain the benefit of this warranty, deliver via prepaid transportation the complete product to RIDGE TOOL COMPANY, Elyria, Ohio, or any authorized RIDGIDs INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER. Pipe wrenches and other hand tools should be returned to the place of purchase.

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.
