Cle-line C65623 Hex Rethreading Die 1-12 Unf Right Hand

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65623 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, this die handles 1-12 UNF threads and measures 1 inch thick. It is a fixed, non-adjustable die used by plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians to chase and clean threads on bolts, studs, rods, and pipe fittings without removing fasteners from service. The right-hand thread orientation matches standard fastener conventions. The hex body form allows standard die stock wrench engagement for controlled hand operation.

This die is suited for maintenance and repair work in mechanical, plumbing, and industrial settings where 1-12 unified fine thread fasteners are in service. Typical applications include restoring threads on hydraulic fittings, structural fasteners, and threaded rods that have sustained rust, impact damage, or thread galling. It is appropriate for both shop bench work and field repair. The Series 0650 designation places it within a consistent line of rethreading tooling designed for professional-grade repetitive use.

Key Features

• 1-12 UNF thread size restores unified fine threads on damaged fasteners and rods
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness suitable for thread chasing on standard steel fasteners
• 1 inch thickness gives full thread engagement across the die face
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation
• Non-adjustable fixed die ensures consistent thread form on every pass
• Hex body design accepts standard die stock wrenches for controlled hand torque

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rethreading tool for use with 1-12 UNF right-hand threaded fasteners, studs, and rods in mechanical and plumbing maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are installed and operated by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and maintenance technicians using a standard die stock or hex die holder. Before use, remove loose rust and debris from the damaged thread area and apply cutting oil to reduce friction and extend die life. Do not force the die over severely deformed threads in a single pass; make multiple light passes when thread damage is significant. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear hand protection when operating cutting dies.
