NOTICE Selection of appropriate materials and instal-
lation, joining and forming methods is the responsibility
of the system designer and/or installer. Selection of
improper materials and methods could cause system
failure.
Stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials
can be contaminated during installation, joining and
forming. This contamination could cause corrosion and
premature failure. Careful evaluation of materials and
methods for the specific service conditions, including
chemical and temperature, should be completed before
any installation is attempted.

The Threading Machines can be mounted on various
RIDGID Threader Stands. Refer to RIDGID catalog for
stand information and to the respective Stand Instruction
Sheet for mounting instructions.
Mounting on Bench
The machines can be mounted on a level, stable bench.
To mount the unit on a bench, use four

Tighten securely.
Mounting on Pipe Legs
Four equal lengths of 1" (25 mm) pipe can be used as a
stand for both the machines. Pipes cut to 33" (0.84 m)
length will place the machine rails approximately 36"
(0.91 m) off the ground. Fully insert the pipes into leg
sockets provided on the underside of the base at the
corners. Secure with four provided 10 mm hex bolts
through the base. See Figure 4.
