The hex body profile seats in standard hex die stocks and hand-operated threading tools, making it a practical choice for plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors who need to cut tapered pipe threads in the field or shop. At 0.37 pounds, it is a lightweight tool that handles 1\/4-inch nominal pipe size with an 18-thread-per-inch taper pitch per NPT specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex die is suited for threading carbon steel pipe and fittings in residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical systems where NPT taper threads are the standard connection type. Typical applications include fabricating threaded pipe assemblies, rethreading damaged pipe ends, and cutting fresh threads on cut-to-length pipe stock. The 1\/4-18 size corresponds to 1\/4-inch nominal pipe, which is common in gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and hydraulic piping installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPT taper thread profile for standard pipe thread compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body design seats in common hex die stocks and threading handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction provides cutting hardness suitable for threading mild steel pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.37 pounds for easy field handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImport grade offers a cost-effective option for general-purpose threading work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard hex die stocks that accept 1\/4-18 NPT hex dies.

Secure the workpiece firmly in a pipe vise before threading to prevent movement and ensure thread quality. Apply cutting oil generously during the threading operation to extend die life and produce clean thread form. Follow applicable code requirements under the IFGC or IPC when cutting threads for gas or plumbing piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT (National Pipe Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDie Body Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.37 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EAGLE CUTTING TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: NHD-2500-18-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233948500274,"sku":"NHD-2500-18-I","price":16.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623515.png?v=1780112889","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-nhd-2500-18-i-carbon-npt-pipe-hex-die","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
