Eagle Cutting Tool NHD-10000-115-I Npt Pipe Hex Die

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL NHD-10000-115-I is a carbon steel hex pipe die machined to cut 1 inch NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads at 11.5 threads per inch. It is used to cut tapered external pipe threads on round stock and pipe ends, producing the standard tapered thread profile required for pressure-tight pipe joints. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this die with a compatible hex die stock handle. The carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for threading mild steel, iron pipe, and similar ferrous materials in typical field and shop conditions.

This die fits standard hex die stock handles designed for 1 inch NPT dies. It is suited for threading Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 black iron or galvanized pipe in residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical piping systems. The 11.5 TPI NPT taper thread profile conforms to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, making threads compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings used throughout the trade.

Key Features

• Cuts 1 inch NPT tapered threads at 11.5 threads per inch per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1
• Carbon steel construction suitable for threading ferrous pipe and mild steel stock
• Hex body profile fits standard hex die stock handles
• Produces pressure-rated tapered thread joints for plumbing and gas piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply die for use with hex die stock handles accepting 1 inch NPT hex dies. Confirm handle compatibility with the die body dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

This die is installed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified mechanic using a compatible hex die stock handle. Ensure pipe ends are deburred and chamfered before threading to protect the die cutting edges and produce clean thread form. Apply cutting oil generously during the threading operation to extend die life and improve thread quality. Follow applicable code requirements such as IFGC or IPC for gas and plumbing piping thread standards.
