Cle-line C65576 Hex Pipe Die 1-11/2 Npt Carbon Steel

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65576 is a hex pipe die designed to cut 1-inch, 11-1/2 TPI NPT external threads on pipe and fittings. Made from carbon steel, this die delivers consistent thread form for standard NPT taper pipe connections. The hex body measures 2-3/8 inches across flats and seats into compatible hex die stocks used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors. The 1-inch thickness provides solid engagement in the die stock during cutting. Right-hand thread direction follows standard NPT convention. This die is a working tool for field pipe threading on iron, steel, and similar materials.

This die is suited for threading schedule 40 and schedule 80 steel or iron pipe in residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical systems. It is used in pipe threading operations where NPT-standard taper threads are required for pressure-rated threaded connections. Typical install scenarios include new pipe runs, repair work, and fabrication of threaded spool pieces. Licensed plumbers, gas fitters, and pipefitters are the primary users of this tooling.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas fitters using a compatible hex die stock and handle. Apply cutting oil generously during threading to extend die life and produce clean thread form. Inspect threads with a go/no-go gauge or test fitting before assembling pressure connections. Follow IFGC and IPC requirements for threaded pipe connections in gas and plumbing systems.
