SECTION IV - PIPE SET-UP AND POSITIONING (MODELS 1007 & 3007)
The Model 1007 and Model 3007 Groovers come with 2" through 6" IPS pipe size grooving rolls installed unless otherwise
requested on your order. To change grooving rolls for other size(s) or for copper tube refer to Section VII for grooving rolls
and guide roll plate changeout.
A. STEEL PIPE
1. Set both plastic guide rolls
located on the front of the
Groover, into the correct
holes for the size pipe being
grooved (
/
" allen wrench).

2. Insert pipe over the bottom
roll (groove roll) positioning
the pipe flush against the
front flange of the bottom
roll. Be certain pipe does
not override this flange.
3. Using the slot on top of the
roller plate adjustment rod,
raise (counterclockwise
rotation) the guide roll
mounting plate sufficiently
to ensure that the top
grooving roll makes contact
with the pipe prior to guide
roll contact.
4. Close the release valve on
the hydraulic pump by turn-
ing the knob clockwise.
Pump the hydraulic hand
pump to lower the top
grooving roll into light firm
contact ( approx. 100 psi)
with the pipe.

5. Make sure the knurled stop
(groove diameter stop) is
not in contact with the top
surface of the groover
housing. If contact is noted,
release hydraulic pressure
by turning the release
valve knob counterclock-
wise allowing the groover
head to raise. Turn the
knurled stop counterclock-
wise sufficiently to allow clearance between the bottom of the
knurled stop and the top of the groover housing when the top
grooving roll is in contact with the pipe.
6. Using the slot on top of the
Roller plate adjustment rod,
lower the guide rolls into
firm contact with the pipe.
Note: Improper tool adjust-
ment will cause pipe flare
and/or the pipe to roll out of
the machine.
7. Use one (1) roller pipe stand to support the pipe. Adjust the out-
board pipe stand to assure proper contact between the pipe and
guide rolls. Pipe stand should be 65% - 75% of the pipe length
away from Groover. Looking at the front of the Groover, the pipe
stand should be positioned to angle the pipe approximately 0° to
downward, away from the front of the groover and
side at the Groover. See figures below.
