Value Collection 315-2252 Adjustable Pipe Die Nps Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-2252 is a round adjustable pipe die designed for cutting National Pipe Straight (NPS) threads on pipe stock. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), this die handles thread sizes from 1-1/2 to 11-1/2 NPS and fits a 3-inch outside diameter die stock. The adjustable design allows the operator to dial in thread fit and compensate for tool wear, extending service life on the shop floor or in the field. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors rely on this type of die for threaded pipe fabrication on ferrous and non-ferrous pipe.

This die is suited for threading pipe in residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical systems where NPS right-hand threads are required. It is used with a compatible 3-inch OD round die stock and is appropriate for bench-mounted or portable threading operations. The right-hand thread direction conforms to standard NPS practice for pressure pipe joints in plumbing and gas distribution systems.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance during threading operations
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread fit and compensation for die wear
• Covers 1-1/2 to 11-1/2 NPS thread size range in a single die
• 3-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks of the same OD
• Right-hand thread direction per standard NPS specification
• Round form factor compatible with common hand and machine die stocks

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3-inch outside diameter round die stocks that accept standard round adjustable pipe dies. Suitable for NPS right-hand thread applications on pipe stock within the 1-1/2 to 11-1/2 NPS range.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors familiar with pipe threading equipment. Secure the die firmly in a properly sized die stock before use, and apply cutting oil throughout the threading operation to reduce heat and extend die life. Inspect threads after cutting to verify compliance with NPS fit standards before assembling joints. Follow all applicable IPC and IFGC requirements when threading pipe for pressure systems.
