Eagle Cutting Tool CHD-15000-12-I Carbon Hex Rethread Die

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL CHD-15000-12-I is a carbon hex rethread die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads without removing the fastener or fitting from service. The die measures 1-1/2 inch in diameter and cuts to a 12 NF (National Fine) thread pitch. Its hexagonal outer profile accepts a standard wrench or ratchet for controlled torque during use. Weighing 1.96 pounds, it is a solid, durable tool suited for field repair work by plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades.

This rethread die is used to chase and restore 1-1/2 inch 12 NF external threads on bolts, studs, pipe fittings, and threaded rod. It is well suited for maintenance and repair applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where replacing a threaded component is not practical. The hex body design allows use with common hand tools already carried in a service van or tool bag, making it a practical addition to any thread-repair kit.

Installation Notes

Thread repair dies should be used by qualified tradespeople familiar with thread standards and hand-tool operation. Always de-energize, depressurize, or shut off the relevant system before working on any threaded connection. Apply cutting oil or thread lubricant to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend tool life. Work slowly and back off periodically to clear cuttings, and verify thread engagement before returning the component to service.
