lation, removal, adjustment, or maintenance of any Victaulic products.
• Wear safety glasses, hardhat, and foot protection.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious personal injury and property damage.

WARNING
• Victaulic RX roll sets must be used when grooving light-wall/thin-wall stainless steel pipe for use with Victaulic
Couplings.
Failure to use Victaulic RX roll sets when grooving light-wall/thin-wall stainless steel pipe may cause joint failure,
resulting in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

NOTICE
• Victaulic RX grooving rolls must be ordered separately. They are identified by a silver color and the designation
RX on the front of the roll sets.

WARNING
• Victaulic recommends the use of Victaulic fittings with Style 77S couplings.
Failure to follow this instruction could cause improper product installation, resulting in personal injury and/or
property damage.
