918 Roll Groover
When properly used, the Model 918 Roll Groov-
NOTI E
er is designed to make grooves in 1" - 12" pipe that are
dimensionally within the specifications of AWWA C606-15.
Improper use of this equipment can make out of specifi-
cation grooves and damage the pipe and equipment.
Selection of appropriate materials and joining methods
is the responsibility of the system designer and/or in-
staller. Before any installation is attempted, careful evalu-
ation of the specific service environment, including chem-
ical environment and service temperature, should be
completed. Selection of improper materials and methods
could cause system failure.
Stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials
can be contaminated during installation, joining and form-
ing. This contamination could cause corrosion and pre -
mature failure. Careful evaluation of materials and methods
for the specific service conditions, including chemical and
temperature, should be completed before any installation
is attempted.

with ½" holes. When installing on the 1224 base, in-
stall the spacer plate between the base and 918.
Insert two ½" bolts from underside of base and se-
curely tighten with ¾" Wrench.
2. Mount the hydraulic pump on the base and secure
with four ¼" bolts, securely tighten with
For the 1224 base, the pump bracket will need to be
mounted to the base, and the pump attached to the
pump bracket.
3. Mount the stabilizer on the base. Insert two
through the base and securely tighten with
