Manufactured from high-speed steel, this die maintains cutting edge hardness through the heat generated during threading operations. The 2-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks compatible with that size. The adjustable design allows the operator to dial in thread fit and make minor corrections for tool wear or material variation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use dies like this when threading pipe in the field or shop for NPT tapered connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die is suited for threading mild steel, iron, and similar machinable pipe materials to the NPT tapered thread standard. It is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and general mechanical work where NPT threaded connections are required. The right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of NPT pipe threading applications. A round die stock sized for a 2-inch OD die is required to drive this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCuts 3\/8-18 NPT tapered pipe threads to standard specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction retains hardness under threading heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable design allows thread fit fine-tuning and compensation for wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch outside diameter fits compatible round die stocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction matches standard NPT pipe and fitting orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard shop die for use in round die stocks sized for a 2-inch OD die when cutting 3\/8-18 NPT right-hand threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die is installed and operated by a qualified pipefitter or plumber using an appropriate round die stock sized for a 2-inch OD die. Secure the die firmly in the die stock before threading. Apply cutting oil liberally to the workpiece and die during threading to extend tool life and produce clean thread form. Follow applicable code requirements such as IFGC or IPC when threading pipe for gas or plumbing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112805\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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 315-2132\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698377228594,"sku":"315-2132","price":80.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4b3cb028bcaea722a8f5ae4675b4cec1.jpg?v=1788361958","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-315-2132-adjustable-pipe-die-3-8-18-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
