Eagle Cutting Tool CHD-16250-12-I Carbon Hex Rethread Die

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL CHD-16250-12-I is a carbon hex rethread die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built in a standard hex body profile, it seats securely in a die stock or wrench for controlled thread chasing on 1-5/8 inch diameter fasteners and fittings with a 12 threads-per-inch (TPI) pitch. At 1.96 pounds, it carries enough mass for stable cutting without excessive operator fatigue. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance tradespeople reach for this die when field-damaged threads need to be cleaned up and returned to service without full replacement of the fastener or fitting.

This rethread die is suited for job-site and shop use wherever 1-5/8 inch-12 UNF external threads appear on bolts, rods, pipe fittings, or mechanical components. It is a practical addition to a service truck or tool crib handling larger-diameter fasteners in mechanical, HVAC, or plumbing applications. The hex body format makes it compatible with standard die stocks and adjustable wrenches sized for hex dies, keeping the tool accessible without specialty holders.

Key Features

• 1-5/8 inch diameter, 12 TPI thread specification for precise rethread work on larger fasteners
• Hex body profile seats in standard die stocks and adjustable wrenches without slipping
• Carbon steel construction provides sufficient hardness for chasing threads on mild steel and softer alloys
• Compact, field-ready form factor at 1.96 pounds for portability on service calls
• Import grade offers a cost-effective option for occasional rethread tasks

Compatibility

Designed for use on external threads measuring 1-5/8 inch in diameter with a 12 TPI pitch, consistent with standard hex rethread die applications in mechanical and trade service work.

Installation Notes

Rethread dies are typically used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical technicians performing thread restoration. Before use, de-energize, depressurize, and isolate any system containing the fastener or fitting being rethreaded. Apply cutting oil to the die and the work piece to reduce friction and extend die life. Run the die slowly and back off periodically to clear chips, following standard thread-chasing practice.
