Ridgid 38730 Die Head Assembly 1/4 Inch for 00-R Threader

Product Description

The RIDGID 38730 is a die head assembly with cover plate and screws designed for cutting external pipe threads at a 1/4-inch nominal size. It mounts to the Model 00-R Exposed Ratchet Threader and provides the cutting die holder, cover plate, and necessary hardware as a matched assembly. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this assembly when the original die head is worn, damaged, or lost and a direct OEM-style replacement is needed to return the threader to service. The 38730 carries a lifetime warranty and ships as one complete unit.

This die head assembly is intended for use in pipe threading applications where 1/4-inch nominal pipe thread cuts are required. The Model 00-R Exposed Ratchet Threader is a hand-operated tool commonly found in plumbing rough-in, maintenance, and repair work on small-diameter pipe runs. The 38730 restores full threading capability to that tool without requiring replacement of the entire ratchet threader.

Compatibility

Designed for use with the RIDGID Model 00-R Exposed Ratchet Threader. Verify nominal pipe size requirements before ordering, as die head assemblies are size-specific and are not interchangeable across nominal sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters familiar with hand-operated ratchet threading equipment. Before removing the existing die head, ensure all pipe stock is cleared and the threader is not engaged under load. Use the supplied screws to secure the cover plate to the die head body and confirm the assembly is fully seated before resuming threading operations. Refer to the RIDGID Model 00-R operator manual for die head replacement torque and assembly sequence guidance.
