Built with an alloy steel die, this head delivers consistent, accurate thread form on pipe in the field or shop. It mounts to a compatible 12-R ratchet handle and is operated by hand, making it practical for jobs where powered threading equipment is not available or practical. Licensed pipefitters, plumbers, and mechanical contractors use this die head for cutting pipe threads to British standard specifications on import or export plumbing and gas systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die head is suited for work on 3\/4 inch pipe requiring BSPT thread form, commonly encountered in industrial maintenance, marine applications, and international plumbing or gas piping systems. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of pipe connections. The 12-R designation matches RIDGID's 12-R ratchet handle system, a widely used platform in the trade for hand threading pipe up to 1 inch nominal diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCuts 3\/4 inch nominal BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) thread form\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction for standard pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel die construction for durability and thread accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-R die head platform compatible with RIDGID 12-R ratchet handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-operated design for use without powered threading equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with RIDGID 12-R ratchet hand threader handles for cutting 3\/4 inch nominal BSPT threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die head is installed and operated by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors. Before threading, secure the pipe firmly in a pipe vise and apply cutting oil generously to the die and pipe end to ensure clean thread form and extend die life. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use. Verify thread form with a BSPT gauge after cutting to confirm conformance before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDie Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDie Head Series\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-R\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: 65970\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RIDGID","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525434605874,"sku":"65970","price":189.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/31452d24e8f8e27d12279a507f29d536.jpg?v=1785473622","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ridgid-65970-hand-threader-die-head-3-4-in-bspt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
