Eagle Cutting Tool NHD-25000-8-I Npt Pipe Hex Die 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL NHD-25000-8-I is a carbon steel NPT pipe hex die designed for cutting external tapered pipe threads. It produces standard National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads at 2-1/2 inches nominal pipe size with 8 threads per inch (TPI). The hexagonal body profile allows use with standard pipe die stocks and wrenches for manual threading operations. This die is suited for plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical piping work where field-cut NPT threads are required on carbon steel pipe.

This die is used in commercial and industrial piping applications where threaded pipe connections must be cut on-site or in a shop setting. It is sized for 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe, a common size in mechanical rooms, process piping, fire suppression systems, and larger-diameter plumbing runs. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors performing new installation or repair work are the primary users of this tooling.

Key Features

• 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe size for larger-diameter threading applications
• 8 TPI thread pitch conforms to NPT standard taper specifications
• Hexagonal body profile compatible with standard pipe die stocks
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness suitable for threading mild steel and iron pipe
• Import-grade tooling offers a cost-effective option for periodic or lower-volume threading tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit hex die for use with conventional pipe die stock handles and frames that accept 2-1/2 inch NPT hex dies.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working under applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC and IFGC. Ensure the pipe is properly reamed and deburred before threading to extend die life and produce clean thread form. Apply appropriate cutting oil throughout the threading process to reduce heat and wear. Inspect the die for chipping or wear before each use and replace if thread quality degrades.
