Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy to use and makes fast work of cutting & threading pipes Unit cuts & threads pipe up to 4" easily, Unit arrived with broken switch and the company replaced it right away. No cost.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best threader i have used We have been using the 1224 steady for the last 3 years rigging up buildings for the drilling industry. It stands up to many different users and just keeps plugging away. We have not had any issues with the machine. I have instituted a preventitive maintinance program at our facility and I feel that the regular inspections and upkeep keep our machine like new even though it runs upwards of 20 hours a day. I would recomend the Rigid 1224 Threading machine to everyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This unit meet and exceeded expectations We have owned the 1224 for a while now, threading pipe from minimum size to maximum size without any issues. We have even purchased beveling dies which cut hours out of time required to bevel to meet ASME standards. Using the automatic release threading heads has eliminated any guess work of thread length preventing over threading of pipe. The nipple chucks have greatly increased our ability to complete custom pipe systems without waiting for delivery of custom size nipples, much less the cost of having nipples cut/threaded outside our control being eliminated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Heavy Duty This machine is awesome, reliable and give you what you expect out of it. operating it is a simple and practical. It's definitely a workhorse. So if you are looking for a machine this is for you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic I have been in the plumbing industry for over thirty eight years. I started with three way manual dies and have moved up through the years to the best available. The Ridgid 1224 is just that. I would not even think to support a product that I had questions about or to write a review. I have no problem here. I have used this on many projects. I instruct others on the proper use of this equipment. It is simply the best and top of the line machine for this purpose. In the plumbing industry I consider myself one of the best of the best, I would not tarnish my reputation by supporting a product that was not able to preform to the expectations of the professional tradesman. You would not go wrong with this investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just a great all around machine. We now have 3 of these and mostly make 2.5 and 4.0 thread nipples with them. However we make some other pipe nipples and parts for several customers with little effort, the cleanliness, easy to put away, and general safety of the machine works well for our uses.. Next is to put a small pipe roll groovers on them for expanded customer product offerings. I would recommend this for any job or project that needs a fair amount of threaded sch 40 or thicker pipe. .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for our shop This threader works great, simple to use and gets the job done. Saves us so much time and money being able to cut and thread for jobs in advance. Critical piece of equipment for our company.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good Overall Automatic features are good. it makes the task at hand much easier.

Is there a stationary non-adjustable pipe die set for this pipe machine

Reason - the adjustable dies are sometimes out of calibration - our mechanics want a non-adjustable EX. .5" npt , .75" npt, 1" npt, etc.
Asked by: lwg360
We never ran into this situation so I can't answer with a simple yes/no. What we do is after noticing a little wear on the dies which is normal, is set, thread a sample check thread insertion in a fitting, then set and forget. One thing we have run across in my time is a lot of different suppliers outsource the fittings and although they meet specs there is a generally accepted tolerance of thread depth/insertion. We have found you can find a common neutral point between the fittings in hand we can set the thread depth/insertion to and it's not an issue then.

Oil Capacity

I have had issues with the oil overflowing and I assume too much was put in. Is there a set amount to have in at all times or some reference point to add to?
Asked by: Shark
I filled (1 Gal) my oil reservoir until i could see the level just below the small secondary screen and I had no problem with overflows. Also getting the angle of the machine correct was critical in keeping the oil in the machine. Initially our machine was level and the oil would run out of the back of the pipe but bumping the rear legs up a bit fixed that..

Can the Model 1224 put an NPT thread onto 4'' SCH pipe grade 316

Asked by: Olly
Thanks for contacting RIDGID. This machine is able to do this thread, but you will need the stainless steel dies to accomplish it. The part number would be 33057 for the dies for 4" Stainless Steel pipe. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
