Ridgid Pipe Roll Groover

RIDGID Pipe Roll Groover for Professional Pipe Grooving

A RIDGID Pipe Roll Groover provides a fast, accurate, and efficient method for preparing pipe for mechanical grooved piping systems. Designed for professional plumbing, mechanical contracting, fire protection, industrial piping, and fabrication applications, RIDGID roll grooving equipment forms a controlled groove around the pipe circumference without removing pipe material.

RIDGID offers roll grooving solutions for both shop fabrication and field installation, allowing contractors to select equipment based on pipe size, material, production requirements, and available power equipment.

Accurate Roll Grooves for Mechanical Pipe Connections

A RIDGID roll groover forms the groove by applying controlled pressure through grooving and drive rolls while the pipe rotates. This cold-forming process creates the groove required for compatible grooved couplings, fittings, valves, and other mechanical piping components.

Accurate groove dimensions are essential for proper grooved piping assembly. Pipe preparation, groove diameter, groove width, pipe material, and wall thickness must meet the requirements of the applicable coupling or piping system manufacturer.

RIDGID Roll Grooving Equipment

Depending on the model, RIDGID Pipe Roll Groovers may be designed for use with compatible RIDGID power drives or threading machines, while other configurations provide specialized grooving capabilities for specific applications.

Portable roll groovers are valuable for field installations, while production-oriented equipment can provide efficient repetitive grooving in fabrication shops.

Pipe Grooving for Commercial and Industrial Applications

RIDGID roll grooving tools are well suited for fire sprinkler systems, HVAC piping, mechanical rooms, commercial plumbing, industrial piping, water systems, construction, pipe fabrication, and MRO operations.

Grooved piping systems can simplify assembly and provide an efficient alternative to other pipe joining methods when specified for the application.

Selecting a RIDGID Pipe Roll Groover

When selecting a RIDGID Pipe Roll Groover, verify the pipe outside diameter, nominal pipe size, pipe material, wall thickness or schedule, required groove specification, roll set, machine compatibility, and coupling manufacturer's requirements. Proper groover setup and correct roll selection help produce consistent grooves for reliable professional piping installations.
