Irwin 12436 Hex Die Stock 14 Inch 1-7/16 Od

Product Description

The IRWIN 12436 is a hex die stock designed to hold and drive hex threading dies during manual thread-cutting operations. Built for use with dies that have a 1-7/16 inch outside diameter, this die stock measures 14 inches in overall length, giving the technician sufficient leverage to cut clean, consistent threads by hand. It weighs 0.5 pounds, making it easy to handle in tight working conditions. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance professionals rely on this type of tool when threading pipe, rod, or fastener stock in the field or shop.

The IRWIN 12436 is suited for trade and maintenance applications where a hex-style die must be seated and turned manually. It is commonly used in plumbing rough-in work, mechanical piping, and general metalworking tasks that require threading of stock material. The 14-inch handle length provides the torque needed to start and complete threads on standard pipe and rod diameters without power equipment.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by plumbers, pipefitters, and general tradespeople for manual thread-cutting tasks. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before threading to prevent movement and ensure thread accuracy. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece before and during threading to reduce heat and extend die life. Inspect the die seating in the stock before applying torque to confirm the die is locked and properly aligned.
