† On roll grooved pipe, Allowable Pipe End Separation and Deflection from Centerline will be 1/2 values listed for cut grooved pipe.
For 30 - 42" (750 - 1050 mm) roll groove dimensions contact Victaulic.

COLUMN 1: Nominal IPS Pipe size.

COLUMN 2: IPS outside diameter. The outside diameter of roll grooved pipe shall not vary more than the tolerance listed. For IPS pipe
the maximum allowable tolerance from square cut ends is 0.030" for 3/4 - 31/2"; 0.045" for 4 - 6"; and 0.060" for sizes 8" O.D. and above
measured from true square line.
COLUMN 3: Gasket seat. The pipe surface shall be free from indentations, roll marks, and projections from the end of the pipe to the
groove, to provide a leak-tight seal for the gasket. All loose paint, scale, dirt, chips, grease and rust must be removed. It continues to be
Victaulic’s first recommendation that pipe be square cut. When using beveled pipe contact Victaulic for details. Square cut pipe must be
used with FlushSeal® and EndSeal® gaskets. Gasket seat “A” is measured from the end of the pipe. IMPORTANT: Roll grooving of beveled
end pipe may result in unacceptable pipe end flare. See column 8.
COLUMN 4: Groove width. Bottom of groove to be free of loose dirt, chips, rust and scale that may interfere with proper coupling as-
sembly. Corners at bottom of groove must be radiused. For IPS steel pipe, .06R on 3/4 - 11/2", .08R on 2 - 6", .05R on 8" and up.
COLUMN 5: Groove outside diameter. The groove must be of uniform depth for the entire pipe circumference. Groove must be main-
tained within the “C” diameter tolerance listed.
COLUMN 6: Groove depth. For reference only. Groove must conform to the groove diameter “C” listed.
COLUMN 7: Minimum allowable wall thickness. This is the minimum wall thickness which may be roll grooved.
COLUMN 8: Maximum allowable pipe end flare diameter. Measured at the most extreme pipe end diameter square cut or beveled.

* 9/16" (14 mm) width groove is required in sizes 22 - 24" (550 - 600 mm) in order to obtain the maximum allowable pipe end movement
listed in Performance Data Charts. 1/2" (12 mm) width groove will give 1/2 the maximum allowance shown for 22 - 24" (550 - 600 mm). For
double groove tool bit information, contact Victaulic.

COLUMN 1: Nominal IPS Pipe size.

COLUMN 2: IPS outside diameter. The outside diameter of cut grooved pipe shall not vary more than the tolerance listed. For IPS pipe
the maximum allowable tolerance from square cut ends to 0.030" for 3/4 - 31/2"; 0.045" for 4 - 6"; and 0.060" for sizes 8" O.D. and above
measured from true square line.
COLUMN 3: Gasket seat. The pipe surface shall be free from indentations, roll marks, and projections from the end of the pipe to the
groove, to provide a leak-tight seal for the gasket. All loose paint, scale, dirt, chips, grease and rust must be removed. It continues to be
Victaulic’s first recommendation that pipe be square cut. When using beveled pipe contact Victaulic for details. Square cut pipe must be
used with FlushSeal® and EndSeal® gaskets. Gasket seat “A” is measured from the end of the pipe.
COLUMN 4: Groove width. The bottom of groove to be free of loose dirt, chips, rust and scale that may interfere with proper coupling
assembly. Maximum permissible radius at bottom of groove is .015".
COLUMN 5: Groove outside diameter. The groove must be of uniform depth for the entire pipe circumference. Groove must be main-
tained within the “C” diameter tolerance listed.
COLUMN 6: Groove depth. For reference only. Groove must conform to the groove diameter “C” listed.
COLUMN 7: Minimum allowable wall thickness. This is the minimum wall thickness which may be cut grooved.
