Value Collection 318-2270 Die Adapter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 318-2270 is a die adapter designed to extend the compatibility of threading die sets by allowing dies of one size or shank standard to be used in a die stock intended for a different size. These adapters are commonly used in pipe threading, bolt threading, and general metalworking operations where a single die stock must accommodate multiple die standards. At 0.84 pounds, the 318-2270 is a compact, lightweight component suited for bench or field use by plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and general tradespeople who maintain threading toolsets across multiple fastener or pipe standards.

Die adapters like the 318-2270 are used in both residential and commercial trade settings wherever threaded connections must be cut or chased on-site. Typical applications include threading conduit, pipe, rods, and fastener stock during installation or repair work. The adapter fits into a standard die stock and accepts a die of a differing shank or outer diameter, reducing the need to carry multiple complete die stock sets.

Key Features

• Allows mixed die and die stock sizes to work together, reducing toolset redundancy
• Lightweight at 0.84 pounds, suitable for both shop and field use
• Sold individually, compatible with standard threading operations
• Suitable for use by plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and machinists

Compatibility

Designed as a standard die adapter for use with conventional die stocks in threading applications. No specific compatible die stock models or die series were identified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Die adapters are installed and removed by hand or with standard toolroom wrenches during die stock setup. Ensure the die stock and workpiece are secure before beginning any threading operation. Always follow applicable safety practices for rotating cutting tools and wear appropriate eye protection. If threading pipe or conduit in the field, verify that the correct die size and adapter combination is confirmed before cutting threads.
