Relton 05G-TCO16 Light Thread Cutting Oil 5 Gallons

Product Description

The RELTON 05G-TCO16 is a light-viscosity thread cutting oil formulated to lubricate and cool cutting tools during threading operations on pipe and fittings. Thread cutting oils reduce friction at the die-and-workpiece interface, extend die life, and produce cleaner thread profiles on ferrous and non-ferrous pipe. This formulation is classified as light-weight, making it well suited for smaller diameter pipe and conduit work where a heavier cutting oil would be excessive. Plumbers, pipefitters, and electricians routinely use thread cutting oil with hand threaders and power threading machines on job sites and in shops. This container holds 5 gallons.

Thread cutting oil is a standard consumable in plumbing, pipefitting, fire suppression, and electrical conduit work. It is applied directly to the die head during threading of steel, black iron, galvanized, and stainless pipe. The 5-gallon container is practical for shop use, service vehicles stocked for volume work, or job sites with sustained threading activity. A light-grade oil is commonly specified when working with smaller pipe sizes where viscosity control matters for chip evacuation and thread finish quality.

Key Features

• Light viscosity formulation suited for smaller diameter pipe threading applications
• Lubricates and cools cutting dies to extend tool life and reduce wear
• Promotes cleaner, more consistent thread profiles on ferrous and non-ferrous pipe
• 5-gallon container size supports sustained shop or job site use
• Compatible with hand threaders and power threading machines

Compatibility

Designed for use as a general-purpose light thread cutting oil with standard pipe threading equipment used in plumbing, pipefitting, and electrical conduit applications.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting oil is applied by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or electrician during pipe threading operations. Ensure the threading machine reservoir or applicator is filled according to the equipment manufacturer's guidance before beginning work. Keep the work area ventilated and follow applicable safety data sheet handling requirements for cutting oil. Dispose of used cutting oil in accordance with local environmental regulations.
