Cle-line C65622 Hex Rethreading Die 1-8 Unc Carbon Steel

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65622 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads on fasteners, pipe fittings, and threaded rod. Built from carbon steel, it cuts a 1-8 UNC thread profile with a right-hand direction and measures 1 inch thick. The fixed, non-adjustable design holds consistent thread geometry pass after pass. This die is sized for use with a standard hex die stock or wrench and is a common shop and field tool for plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance tradespeople working with heavy fasteners and structural threaded stock.

This rethreading die is suited for restoring 1-8 UNC threads in both residential and commercial maintenance settings. Typical applications include cleaning up bolt threads on equipment mounts, pipe flanges, and structural connections where thread damage from rust, impact, or over-torquing has made assembly difficult. It is not intended for cutting fresh threads in virgin stock from scratch.

Key Features

• 1-8 UNC thread profile for large-diameter fasteners and threaded rod
• Right-hand thread direction, matching standard UNC fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides sufficient hardness for rethreading mild steel and iron hardware
• Fixed 1 inch thickness, non-adjustable for consistent thread depth
• Hex body seats securely in standard die stocks and hex wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement hex rethreading die for use in standard die stocks and wrenches that accept hex-body dies with a 1-8 UNC thread specification.

Installation Notes

This die is installed into a compatible hex die stock or adjustable wrench before use. Always clean and lubricate the damaged threads with cutting oil before running the die to reduce heat and protect the cutting edges. Secure the workpiece firmly before applying rotational force. Inspect the die for wear or chipped cutting edges before each use to ensure clean thread restoration.
