Titan Usa TE80579 Hex Rethreading Die 1-8 Unc Right Hand

Product Description

The TITAN USA TE80579 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads on fasteners, bolts, and threaded rod. It cuts a 1-8 UNC thread profile with a right-hand thread direction, making it the standard choice for most inch-series threaded fastener repair work. The die measures 1 inch thick and features a 1-13/16 inch hex outer profile for secure engagement in a standard die stock or wrench. Constructed from carbon steel, the TE80579 delivers the hardness needed for repeated use on common mild steel and iron fasteners. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals keep this die on hand for field repair and shop rethreading tasks.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance, repair, and overhaul applications across mechanical, plumbing, and industrial service work. It is used wherever a 1-8 UNC external thread needs to be cleaned up or restored without full fastener replacement. Typical scenarios include reclaiming threaded rod ends, cleaning up bolt shanks on pipe flanges, and restoring threads on structural hardware. The right-hand thread direction aligns with standard UNC fastener conventions used throughout North American trade work.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist, pipefitter, or maintenance technician typically performs rethreading operations with this die. Secure the fastener or workpiece firmly before engaging the die to prevent movement during cutting. Apply a suitable cutting fluid to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use, and never force a damaged die onto a workpiece.
