Ridgid Tools 47880 Alloy Rh Npt Pipe Dies 14 Tpi

Product Description

The RIDGID TOOLS 47880 is a set of alloy right-hand NPT pipe threading dies covering the 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch pipe size range at 14 threads per inch. These dies mount in compatible die heads and cut clean, tapered NPT threads on aluminum and black pipe. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use these dies with manual and powered threading machines on the job site or in the shop. The alloy construction delivers the durability needed for production threading work without frequent regrinding or replacement.

These dies are suited for threading ferrous and non-ferrous pipe in residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical installations. They handle the two most common smaller pipe sizes in a single set, making them practical for shops that thread both 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch pipe regularly. The right-hand cut matches standard NPT thread direction used throughout North American plumbing and gas systems.

Installation Notes

Die installation and threading operations should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter familiar with threading machine operation. Ensure the threading machine is powered down and de-energized before changing dies. Apply cutting oil generously during threading to extend die life and produce clean thread form. Verify thread gauge acceptance before assembling threaded connections, particularly on gas piping subject to IFGC inspection.
