Eagle Cutting Tool NHD-1250-27-I Carbon Npt Pipe Hex Die

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL NHD-1250-27-I is a carbon steel hex die sized for 1/8-27 NPT pipe threading. It cuts National Pipe Taper threads on ferrous pipe and fittings, producing the tapered thread form required for pressure-tight, leak-resistant joints. The hex body profile seats securely in a standard pipe die stock, allowing controlled thread cutting by hand or in a bench-mounted stock. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors reach for this die when cutting NPT threads on small-diameter pipe in gas, water, or steam piping applications.

This die is suited for small-diameter pipe threading tasks common in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping work. The 1/8-27 size corresponds to 1/8-inch nominal pipe with 27 threads per inch, frequently encountered at instrument taps, gauge connections, and small gas or water supply lines. It is installed using a standard hex pipe die stock and is appropriate for shop or field use by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas fitters working under IPC or IFGC guidelines.

Key Features

• 1/8-27 NPT thread form for tapered, pressure-tight pipe joints
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for threading ferrous pipe
• Hex body design seats in standard pipe die stocks for controlled hand threading
• Compact size and low weight (0.37 pounds) make it easy to carry in a tool bag
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for single-die procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock die for use with standard hex pipe die stocks that accept 1/8-27 NPT dies.

Installation Notes

Threading operations with this die should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with NPT pipe threading procedures. Apply cutting oil liberally to the die and pipe end before and during threading to reduce friction, extend die life, and produce a cleaner thread form. Ensure the pipe end is cleanly reamed and deburred before engaging the die. Inspect finished threads before assembly to confirm proper taper and thread count.
