Eagle Cutting Tool NHD-30000-8-I 3/8 Npt Pipe Hex Die

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL NHD-30000-8-I is a 3/8 NPT carbon pipe hex die designed for cutting external NPT threads on pipe and fittings. This hex-style die fits standard die stocks and ratchet die holders used in pipe threading operations. It cuts National Pipe Taper threads to NPT specification, producing leak-resistant tapered thread forms suitable for threaded pipe assemblies. At 12.43 pounds, this is a solid, production-weight tooling component built for threading carbon steel pipe. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this die type when threading pipe on the job or in a shop setting.

This die is suited for threading 3/8-inch nominal pipe in carbon steel applications. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical systems where NPT-threaded connections are required. The hex body design seats securely in a compatible die stock, allowing controlled, repeatable thread cutting. This is an import-grade die intended for general-purpose threading work where cost-effective tooling is preferred over premium domestic options.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this die should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with pipe threading procedures. Secure the die properly in a compatible die stock before threading and apply appropriate cutting oil throughout the threading operation to prolong die life and produce clean thread forms. Follow applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC guidelines, when threading pipe for gas or potable water systems. Inspect the finished thread for proper form and depth before assembly.
