Cle-line C65497 Round Pipe Die 1/2-14 Npt 2 Inch Od

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65497 is a round pipe die designed to cut 1/2-14 NPT threads on pipe and fittings. It features a fixed, non-adjustable design machined from carbon steel for consistent thread form under repeated use. The die measures 2 inches in outside diameter and 5/8 inch in thickness, sized to fit standard round die stocks that accept 2-inch OD dies. Right-hand thread direction is standard for NPT pipe applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this die when threading pipe in the field or at a shop bench.

This die is suited for threading pipe for water, gas, and general-purpose piping systems where NPT connections are required. It cuts 1/2-14 NPT threads, the standard thread count and form for 1/2-inch nominal pipe size. Typical applications include threading black iron pipe, galvanized pipe, and similar ferrous pipe stock in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping work.

Key Features

• Cuts 1/2-14 NPT right-hand threads - standard taper pipe thread form for 1/2-inch pipe
• Carbon steel construction for durability through repeated threading operations
• Fixed, non-adjustable design ensures consistent thread geometry cut after cut
• 2-inch OD fits standard 2-inch round die stocks
• 5/8-inch thickness suits common hand and bench die stock holders

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or additional die for standard round die stocks with a 2-inch OD die capacity. Confirm that your die stock accepts a 2-inch OD by 5/8-inch thick round die before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers and pipefitters using a compatible 2-inch round die stock. Secure the die firmly in the die stock before threading to prevent movement during the cut. Apply cutting oil to the pipe end before and during threading to extend die life and produce a clean thread form. Follow applicable local plumbing and gas codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements, when threading pipe for pressurized systems.
