NOTE! Make sure knurled adjustment ring is not interfering
with the advancement of the depth adjustment feed
screw (Figure 7) .
Important: Extreme pressure caused by over ratcheting
will cause distortion to thin wall pipe.

Adjusting for Groove Depth

NOTE! The groove depth must be adjusted for each
pipe/tube diameter and wall thickness.
1. Rotate knurled adjustment ring counter-clockwise to
open sufficient space for the groove roll advancement.
See Chart 1 (Figure 3) .
NOTE! The distance created between the depth adjust-
ment ring and the feed screw block equals roll
groove depth. Adjustments up or down, with test
grooves, will ensure proper groove depths for
couplings.
