Value Collection 315-2224 Adjustable Pipe Die 3/8-18 Nps

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-2224 is a round adjustable pipe die designed to cut 3/8-18 NPS external threads on pipe stock. Manufactured from high-speed steel, it delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for repeated threading passes on ferrous and non-ferrous pipe materials. The die features a 1.5-inch outside diameter and cuts right-hand threads. The adjustable design allows the technician to fine-tune thread depth and compensate for tool wear, extending service life and maintaining thread quality across multiple uses. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors rely on this type of die for field and shop threading work.

This pipe die is suited for threading 3/8-inch nominal pipe size connections in residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical systems. It fits standard round die stocks that accept 1.5-inch OD dies. Typical applications include cutting NPS threads on black iron, galvanized, and stainless pipe in rough-in plumbing, gas line work, and general pipe fabrication. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both production threading and one-off field cuts.

Installation Notes

Installation of this die is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters familiar with hand or powered threading equipment. Secure the die properly in a matched die stock before use, and apply appropriate thread cutting oil throughout the threading process to reduce heat and prolong die life. Always de-burr pipe ends before threading to protect die teeth. Verify completed threads against NPS gauge standards before assembly.
