Portable Roll Grooving Attachment for Pipe Threading Machines
A Roll Groover presses a shallow channel around a pipe end so a mechanical coupling can clamp on and join two sections without welding. This cast iron roll groover mounts onto your existing threading machine and grooves 1-1/4 to 6-inch schedule 10 pipe, and 1-1/4 to 3-inch schedule 40 pipe. The portable roll groover weighs 17 kg and converts your threader into a grooving station.
Fire sprinkler contractors, HVAC installers, and mechanical plumbers rely on this pipe grooving tool to groove steel and stainless steel pipe on the job site without bringing a separate machine.

Applications
This pipe roll groover drops onto your existing threader, so it fits the way you already work.
- Fire sprinkler systems. This roll groover for fire sprinkler pipe covers every standard fire protection size from 1-1/4 to 6 inches in schedule 10.
- Commercial HVAC. Chilled water, heating, and condenser loops use grooved joints for faster assembly and easier access for service.
- Mechanical contracting. Grooved pipe in hospitals, schools, and industrial plants goes together faster than welded or threaded joints.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Roll Groover?
A roll groover is a pipe grooving tool that presses a shallow, round channel into a pipe's outer wall. The groove accepts a mechanical coupling that clamps two pipe ends together without welding, threading, or soldering. Roll groovers are common in fire sprinkler, HVAC, and commercial plumbing work.
How Does Pipe Roll Grooving Work?
The pipe sits in a threading machine and spins while the roll grooving attachment presses inward from both sides with a groover roll and a drive roll. As the pipe turns, the rolls form a uniform groove around its circumference. The process takes seconds and removes no pipe material.
Can You Roll Groove Schedule 40 Pipe?
Yes. This roll groover handles schedule 40 steel and stainless steel pipe from 1-1/4 inch to 3 inch. Schedule 40 has thicker walls than schedule 10, so the grooving range is smaller. For Schedule 10, the capacity extends to 6 inches.
Is Schedule 40 or 20 Thicker?
Schedule 40 is thicker. Pipe schedule numbers indicate wall thickness for a given diameter, and higher numbers mean thicker walls. Schedule 20 sits between schedule 10 and schedule 40. This roll groover covers schedule 10 pipe up to 6 inches and schedule 40 up to 3 inches.
What Is the Difference Between a Roll Groove and a Cut Groove?
Roll grooving displaces the pipe wall inward without removing material, so the pipe keeps its full wall thickness and pressure rating. Cut grooving removes a strip of metal from the outside, which reduces wall thickness at the groove. Roll grooving is the standard method for thinner-walled pipe like schedule 10.
Can This Roll Groover Be Used for Fire Sprinkler Pipe?
Yes. Grooved mechanical couplings are standard in fire sprinkler systems, and most fire sprinkler pipe is schedule 10 steel. This roll groover for fire sprinkler pipe covers 1-1/4 to 6 inches, which includes the most common sprinkler main and branch line sizes.
Does This Roll Groover Fit a Ridgid 300 Power Drive?
Yes. This pipe roll groover for 300 power drive machines mounts directly onto the Ridgid 300 spindle without adapters. It also fits the Ridgid 535 and most other standard pipe threading machines. No modifications to the threader are needed.
