REED FPV20 Instructions

For assembling field pipe vise capacity 2" - 20" (50 - 500 mm)

Instructions for Assembling the FPV20

1. Cut four pieces of 1

" (48 mm) diameter pipe, each 40"

(1015 mm) long for the legs and one piece 6 feet (1.83 m) long for

the backbone.

2. Slip the Chain Vise base (center section) on to the backbone,

clamping it on the pipe about 15" (380 mm) from one end by

tightening the two bolts.

3. Next, slip a leg frame over each end of the backbone with the

"window" in each leg socket facing outward. Lay the backbone

on the floor upside down, resting the V's and put a pipe leg in

each socket.

4. Make sure that each pipe leg bottoms in the socket (see window).

Tighten the threaded knob or bolt in each leg frame to

clamp the entire assembly together. It is helpful to

assemble this vise upside down with the V's resting on

the floor; the two leg frames and the pipe clamp then

automatically line up, Fig. 1.

• If the leg angles need a little adjustment once the vise is

upright, slightly loosen the knob (or bolt) and gently lift the backbone

just a bit. Adjust the legs and retighten the knob (or bolt.)

• Both legs must "bottom" in their sockets or the assembly will not be solid.

• 2,000 pound (900 kg) capacity.
