  Ruben CortezAug 21, 2025
  If your Victaulic Tools won't track, causing it to walk or fall off the pipe, first ensure the tool is correctly positioned with the pipe against the two pipe-end stops. Another possible cause is that the pipe end is not cut square, so ensure to cut the pipe square. Also, remove any excessive fall-off (burr) at the pipe end that might result from using a tubing cutter. Lastly, make sure you are using the correct feed rate.

  If the Victaulic Tools do not move when cranked, it could be due to rust or dirt build-up on the roll set. Remove any rust or dirt accumulation from the roll set using a stiff wire brush. Alternatively, the roll set may be worn. Inspect the roll set for worn knurls and replace it if excessive wear is present.

Why are there loud squeaks while grooving pipe with Victaulic VE26?
- M
  Mrs. Zoe ZimmermanSep 9, 2025
  If you hear loud squeaks echoing through the pipe while grooving with Victaulic Tools, it could be due to incorrect pipe support positioning on long pipe. Reposition the pipe support. The pipe might not be cut square, so ensure the pipe end is cut squarely. Also, the pipe might be rubbing excessively on the two pipe-end stops; remove the pipe from the tool and apply a light coating of grease to the two pipe-end stops, as needed.
