Victaulic recommends square-cut pipe for use with grooved-end pipe products. Square-cut pipe MUST be used with Victaulic FlushSeal® and EndSeal® gaskets. Beveled-end pipe may be used with Victaulic standard and Vic-Flange gaskets, provided that the wall thickness is standard wall (ANSI B36.10) or less and that the bevel meets ANSI B16.25 (371/2°) or ASTM A-53 (30°). NOTE: Roll grooving beveled-end pipe may result in unacceptable pipe flare. Beveled steel pipe in 14 - 24inch/355.6 - 610.0-mm sizes is acceptable with Victaulic Advanced Grooving System (AGS) standard or FlushSeal gaskets, including AGS Vic-Flanges. 2.For 12-inch/323.9-mm and smaller pipe sizes grooved to original specifications, raised internal and external weld beads and seams must be ground flush with the pipe surface 2 inches/50 mm back from • For maximum grooving roll life, remove foreign material and loose rust from the interior and exterior surfaces of the pipe 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. 3.All coarse scale, dirt, and other foreign material must be removed from the interior and exterior surfaces of the pipe ends. pipe length requirements VE450FSD tools are capable of grooving short pipe lengths without the use of a pipe stand. Table 1 identifies the minimum pipe lengths that can be grooved safely by using Victaulic Grooving Tools. In addition, this table identifies the maximum pipe lengths that can be grooved without the use of a pipe stand. Refer to the “Grooving Short Pipe Lengths” section for instructions on how to groove short pipe lengths. NOTE: Grooved pipe nipples, shorter than those listed in Table 1, are available from Victaulic. Pipe lengths, longer than those listed in Table 1 (and up to 20 feet/6 meters), must be supported with a pipe stand. Pipe lengths, from 20 feet/6 meters up to double-random lengths (approximately 40 feet/12 meters), must be supported with two pipe stands.

Roll sets are marked with the pipe size, part number, and they are color coded according to 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 roll-retaining bolts and set screws are tight. Loose retaining bolts and set screws could cause damage to the tool and rolls. 2.Insert a length of pipe that is the correct size and schedule onto the lower roll. Make sure the pipe end contacts the lowerroll backstop flange. The pipe must rest directly on top of the roll and must not be skewed to one side or the other. NOTE: If necessary, retract the pipe stabilizer to provide clearance for inserting the pipe over the lower roll. To retract the pipe stabilizer, loosen the locking handle, and use the handwheel to retract the roller. 3.Close the hand pump valve by turning clockwise. www.victaulic.com Victaulic is a registered trademark of Victaulic Company. TM-VE450FSD_12 REV_A Operating and Maintenance Instructions Manual TM-VE450FSD 4.Pump the handle of the hand pump until the upper roll moves down and comes into firm contact with the pipe. 5.Remove the appropriate guard setting pad from the larger storage box. NOTE: Two guard setting pads are included in the storage box. One is specifically for pipe being grooved with original-type roll sets (thin guard pad), and the other is specifically for pipe being grooved with AGS roll sets (thick guard pad with label that states “FOR AGS ONLY”). 6. Hold the correct guard setting pad firmly against the pipe and push it under the roll guards. Loosen the knob on the front of the roll guards to drop the plate onto the guard setting pad. Tighten the knob. 7.Loosen the knob on the side of the roll guards to drop the sliding guard onto the guard setting pad. Tighten the knob. 8.Remove the guard setting pad from the pipe.

REV_A TM-VE450FSD_13 Operating and Maintenance Instructions Manual TM-VE450FSD adjusting the pipe stabilizer WARNING • DO NOT reach over pipe while making adjustments. Locking Handle • DO NOT make adjustments while the tool/pipe is in operation/motion. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury. CAUTION 1.Loosen the locking handle of the pipe stabilizer. • DO NOT adjust the pipe stabilizer to push the pipe to the left and off center from the rolls. Increased pipe-end flare and shortened roll life will result if the pipe is pushed to the left and off center. • Assembly of couplings on pipe that exceeds the maximum allowable flare dimension may prevent proper pad-to-pad assembly of coupling housings and gasket distortion/damage. Failure to prepare pipe in accordance with all instructions may cause joint failure, resulting in personal injury and/or property damage. The pipe stabilizer for the VE450FSD is designed to prevent sway of short and long pipe lengths. When the pipe stabilizer is adjusted for a selected pipe size and wall thickness, it does not require further adjustment unless pipe of a different size and wall thickness will be grooved. Pipe of the same size and wall thickness can be moved in and out of the tool without retracting the pipe stabilizer. 2.Using the handwheel, advance the roller on the pipe stabilizer inward until it is approximately 1/16 inch/1.5 mm from the pipe. Refer to Figure 2 for proper positioning 3.Tighten the locking handle of the pipe stabilizer. 4.Plug the power cord for the tool into an internally grounded electrical outlet. Refer to the “Power Requirements” section. www.victaulic.com Victaulic is a registered trademark of Victaulic Company. TM-VE450FSD_14 REV_A Operating and Maintenance Instructions Manual TM-VE450FSD adjusting the groove diameter stop Figure 2 NOTICE • To perform the following adjustments, Victaulic recommends the use of several short, scrap sections of pipe that are the proper material, diameter, and thickness to be grooved. Make sure the scrap sections meet the length requirements listed in Table 1. CORRECT INCORRECT 5.Depress the safety foot switch and observe the roller on the pipe stabilizer. The roller on the pipe stabilizer should remain in slight contact with the pipe, and the pipe should rotate smoothly without swaying from side to side. If the pipe is not rotating smoothly or is swaying from side to side, remove your foot from the safety foot switch. When the pipe stops rotating, adjust the roller on the pipe stabilizer further inward. Depress the safety foot switch, make sure the pipe rotates smoothly and does not sway from side to side, and make further adjustments, as necessary. DO NOT adjust the pipe stabilizer too far inward, since it will skew the pipe to the left and off center, resulting in excessive pipe-end flare. • For additional information about the pipe stands, refer to the Operating and Maintenance Instructions Manual ­included with the pipe stand. The groove diameter stop must be adjusted for each pipe size or change in wall thickness. The groove diameter, which is identified as the “C” dimension, is listed under the “Roll Groove Specifications” section. In addition, a label is affixed to the tool, which lists the “C” dimensions. To achieve the proper diameter: Pipe Size Indicator Label Depth Adjuster Hydraulic Power Cylinder 1.Locate the proper pipe diameter and thickness on the pipe-size indicator label of the depth adjuster. The depth adjuster can be rotated for easy viewing. Align the top edge of the depth adjuster with the lower line position of the proper pipe size and schedule markings. www.victaulic.com Victaulic is a registered trademark of Victaulic Company. REV_A TM-VE450FSD_15 Operating and Maintenance Instructions Manual Depth Adjuster CAUTION • The “C” dimension (groove diameter) must conform to Victaulic specifications to ensure proper joint performance. Failure to follow this instruction could cause joint failure, resulting in personal injury and/ or property damage. Groove Diameter Stop 2. TM-VE450FSD Hold the depth adjuster to prevent it from turning. Turn the groove diameter stop counterclockwise to lock the depth adjuster in this position. NOTICE 5.If the groove diameter (“C” dimension) is not within Victaulic specifications, the diameter stop must be adjusted. 5a.Loosen the depth adjuster from the groove diameter stop, and rotate each independently. Rotating the depth adjuster and groove diameter stop when locked together will cause premature thread wear. • The markings provide an approximate groove diameter adjustment and are not exact groove diameter settings. Variations in pipe OD and wall thickness make it impossible to calibrate the groove diameter stop exactly. 5b.To adjust for a smaller groove diameter, turn the depth adjuster counterclockwise (when viewed from above the tool). • Occasionally, during the grooving operation, the groove diameter stop may move up and down slightly, making contact and then breaking contact with the hydraulic cylinder. This is normal for pipe that has a noticeable weld seam, hard spot, or large wall thickness variation. 5d. Hold the depth adjuster to prevent it from turning. Turn the groove diameter stop counterclockwise to lock the depth adjuster in position. 3.Prepare a trial groove by referring to the “Grooving Short Pipe Lengths” section or “Grooving Long Pipe Lengths” section. 4.After a trial groove is prepared and the pipe is removed from the tool, check the groove diameter (“C” dimension) carefully with a pipe tape. Refer to the “Roll Groove Specifications” section. In addition, a vernier caliper or narrow-land micrometer can be used to check the “C” dimension at two locations (90° apart) within the groove. The average reading must be within the required groove diameter specification. 5c.To adjust for a larger groove diameter, turn the depth adjuster clockwise (when viewed from above the tool). NOTE: A quarter turn either way will change the groove diameter by 0.042 inch/1.1 mm or 0.167 inch/4.2 mm per full turn. 6.Prepare another trial groove, and check the groove diameter (“C” dimension), as described in step 4 on this page. Repeat these steps, as necessary, until the groove diameter is within specification. www.victaulic.com Victaulic is a registered trademark of Victaulic Company.

TM-VE450FSD_34 REV_A Operating and Maintenance Instructions Manual TM-VE450FSD Explanation of Critical Roll Groove Dimensions Pipe Outside Diameter - Nominal NPS Pipe Size (ANSI B36.10) and Basic Metric Pipe Size (ISO 4200) – The average pipe outside diameter must not vary from the specifications listed in the tables on the following pages. Maximum allowable pipe ovality should not vary by more than 1%. Greater variations between the major and minor diameters will result in difficult coupling assembly. For IPS pipe, the maximum allowable tolerance from square-cut pipe ends is 0.030 inch/0.8 mm for 3/4 - 3 1/2-inch sizes; 0.045 inch/1.1 mm for 4 - 6-inch sizes; and 0.060 inch/1.5 mm for 8inch and larger sizes. This is measured from the true square line. Any internal and external weld beads or seams must be ground flush to the pipe surface. The inside diameter of the pipe end must be cleaned to remove coarse scale, dirt, and other foreign material that might interfere with or damage grooving rolls. For pipe being grooved to Advanced Groove System (AGS) specifications, the outside diameter must not vary from the specifications listed in the applicable table (API 5L end tolerance). The maximum allowable tolerance from square-cut ends is 0.063 inch/1.5 mm. This is measured from the true square line. “A” Dimension – The “A” dimension, or the distance from the pipe end to the groove, identifies the gasket seating area. This area must be free from indentations, projections (including weld seams), and roll marks from the pipe end to the groove to ensure a leak-tight seal. All foreign material, such as loose paint, scale, oil, grease, chips, rust, and dirt must be removed. For AGS products, beveled carbon steel pipe may be used, provided the wall thickness is standard wall (0.375 inch/9.5 mm) and the bevel meets ASTM A53 and/or API 5L (30° +5°/-0°). “B” Dimension – The “B” dimension, or groove width, controls expansion, contraction, and angular deflection of flexible couplings by the distance it is located from the pipe and its width in relation to the coupling housings’ “key” width. The bottom of the groove must be free from all foreign material, such as dirt, chips, rust, and scale that may interfere with proper coupling assembly. For pipe being grooved to AGS specifications, the corners at the bottom of the groove must be radiused R .09/R 2.3. The Groove Width “B” dimension will be achieved with properly maintained Victaulic tools that are equipped with special Victaulic AGS (RW or RWX) roll sets. “C” Dimension – The “C” dimension is the proper diameter at the base of the groove. This dimension must be within the diameter’s tolerance and concentric with the OD for proper coupling fit. The groove must be of uniform depth for the entire pipe circumference. For pipe being grooved to AGS specifications, Victaulic RW roll sets for carbon steel pipe or RWX roll sets for stainless steel pipe must be used. “D” Dimension – The “D” dimension is the normal depth of the groove and is a reference for a “trial groove” only. Variations in pipe OD affect this dimension and must be altered, if necessary, to keep the “C” dimension within tolerance. This groove must conform to the “C” dimension described above. “F” Dimension (Original Roll Groove Only) – Maximum allowable pipe-end flare diameter is measured at the extreme pipe-end diameter. “T” Dimension – The “T” dimension is the lightest grade (minimum, nominal wall thickness) of pipe that is suitable for cut or roll grooving. Pipe that is less than the minimum, nominal wall thickness for cut grooving may be roll grooved or adapted for Victaulic couplings by using Vic-Ring® adapters. Vic-Ring adapters can be used in the following situations (contact Victaulic for details): • When the pipe is less than the minimum, nominal wall thickness suitable for roll grooving • When the pipe outside diameter is too large to roll or cut groove • When the pipe is used in abrasive services For pipe being grooved to AGS specifications, the absolute minimum wall thickness is 0.290 inch/7.4 mm for 14-inch pipe and 0.318 inch/8.1 mm for 16-inch pipe, in accordance with EN 10217. The absolute minimum wall thickness for 18-inch, 20-inch, and 24-inch pipe is 0.328 inch/8.3 mm, in accordance with ASTM A-53. www.victaulic.com Victaulic is a registered trademark of Victaulic Company.

REV_A REV_A OD C NOTICE B • It is critical to measure the Groove Diameter “C” dimension, along with the Gasket Seat “A” dimension and the Flare Diameter “F” dimension. These measurements must be within the specifications listed in the following tables for proper joint performance. • Grooving pipe to Advanced Groove System (AGS) specifications enlarges the pipe length by approximately 1/8 inch (0.125 inch/3.2 mm) for each groove. For a pipe length with an AGS groove at each end, the length will grow approximately 1/4 inch (0.250 inch/6.4 mm) total. Therefore, the cut length should be adjusted to accommodate this growth. EXAMPLE: If you need a 24-inch/610-mm length of pipe that will contain an AGS groove at each end, cut the pipe to a length of 233/4 inches/603 mm to allow for this growth.
