properly prepared and loaded. Improper set up and
preparation can affect accuracy of groove diameter
settings.
2. Groove roll should be contacting the pipe. If needed,
advance the groove roll to just contact the pipe. It
should not be gripping or making an indentation in
the pipe.
3. Adjust the groove depth gauge so that the correct
step of the gauge is under the head of the adjust-
ing screw (Figure 17A). The groove depth gauge is
designed for use with pipe. See “Setting The Groove
Diameter For Copper Tubing” for use with copper
tube.
4. Turn the adjusting nut clockwise until the head
touches the step of the depth gauge. Turn the groove
depth gauge to the grooving position (Figure 17B).
If the gauge is not in the grooving position it will pre-
vent grooving and may be damaged.

5. Prepare a test groove (follow the steps for “Grooving
Operation”).
6. Measure the groove diameter. The best method for
measuring the groove diameter is the use of a diam-
eter tape (see Optional Equipment Section). Tightly
wrap the diameter tape around the grooved section
of the pipe. Make sure that the tape sits flat in the
bottom of the groove, and read the groove diameter.
7. 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.
If the measured groove is outside of the required
groove diameter the adjustment nut can be adjusted
to form a correct groove.
• To decrease groove diameter (deeper groove), turn
the depth adjustment nut counterclockwise.
• To increase groove diameter (shallower groove),
Turn the depth adjustment nut clockwise.
• Each
1
/4 turn of the depth adjustment nut changes
the groove diameter by approximately 0.025" (0.6
mm). Moving the nut one mark on the circumfer-
ence changes the groove diameter by approxi-
mately 0.002" (0.05 mm).
8. Repeat steps 6-8 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 ensure
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 18). 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 18). 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
