Value Collection 315-2130 Adjustable Pipe Die 1/4-18 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-2130 is a round adjustable pipe die designed to cut 1/4-18 NPT external threads on pipe and fittings. Built from high-speed steel, this die maintains cutting edge integrity through repeated use on ferrous and non-ferrous pipe stock. The adjustable design allows the technician to fine-tune thread depth and fit, which is critical for achieving a clean, leak-free NPT taper thread. At 2 inches in outside diameter, it fits standard round die stocks of the same size. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors rely on this type of die for field and shop threading operations.

This die is suited for threading 1/4-inch nominal pipe in plumbing, HVAC piping, gas line work, and industrial pipe fabrication. NPT taper threads cut with this die are compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and light commercial systems. The right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of pipe threading applications. It is used in both shop-based pipe preparation and on-site threading where a portable die stock is in use.

Key Features

• Cuts 1/4-18 NPT taper threads to standard specification
• Adjustable design allows thread depth fine-tuning for proper fit and seal
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across repeated cuts
• 2 inch outside diameter fits matching round die stocks
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard NPT pipe and fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use with 2 inch OD round die stocks that accept 1/4-18 NPT dies. Cuts threads compatible with standard NPT fittings and pipe in plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Threading should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician familiar with NPT thread standards. Secure the pipe firmly in a pipe vise before threading. Apply cutting oil throughout the threading process to extend die life and produce cleaner threads. Verify thread gauge fit before assembling into pressurized systems, and follow applicable code requirements including IFGC and IPC for gas and plumbing piping.
