Manufactured from high speed steel, the die delivers consistent thread geometry and extended service life under repeated use. This die is engineered to produce tapered NPT threads that conform to standard pipe fitting specifications, making it a standard tool in any licensed plumber or pipefitter's inventory. Installation is performed by threading professionals and pipefitters working on ferrous and non-ferrous pipe in residential and commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 50705 is sized for 1\/4-18 NPT threading, a common specification found in low-pressure gas lines, water supply piping, instrument connections, and pneumatic fittings. It is suited for trade professionals performing field threading operations where a portable or bench-mounted threading machine is in use. The right-hand thread direction matches the standard installation direction for NPT pipe fittings used throughout North American plumbing and mechanical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPT thread size for standard tapered pipe thread cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction matches standard NPT fitting orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability and consistent thread form under repeated use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for use with the RIDGID Model 500A Mono Machine Die Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduces threads conforming to NPT specification for leak-resistant pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RIDGID 50705 is designed for use with the RIDGID Model 500A Mono Machine Die Head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die is installed and operated by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors using a compatible die head and threading machine. Ensure the threading machine is powered off and the pipe is securely clamped before installing or removing the die. Apply appropriate thread cutting oil during operation to extend die life and produce clean thread form. Follow applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements, when threading pipe for pressurized systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Die Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: Model 500A Mono Machine Die Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RIDGID\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50705\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RIDGID","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524675535154,"sku":"50705","price":333.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/42d525988004bb163a146b0548e32ec3.jpg?v=1785454907","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ridgid-50705-pipe-die-1-4-18-npt-right-hand-thread","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
