The Power Drive is designed for use with the No. 12R
Die Heads (
1
/
8
″ – 2″ pipe). Other RIDGID drop head
die heads (00R, 00-RB, 11R) and RIDGID Geared
Threaders (2
1
/
2
″ – 6″) require the use of adapters. A
manual oiling system is available to flood the work dur-
ing the threading operations. The No. 775 Support Arm
should be used to secure the Power Drive and resist high
handle forces developed when threading one inch or
larger pipe with drop head die heads.
The RIDGID Model 700 Power Drive can also be used in
other applications such as to power the RIDGID 258 Pipe
Cutter and to turn valves. These applications require the
use of the No. 774 Square Drive Adapter.
