Value Collection 318-2275 Die Adapter 3in Od 3.63in Waf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 318-2275 is a die adapter designed to extend the versatility of threading die sets used in plumbing, pipefitting, and general mechanical work. The adapter accepts dies with a 3-inch outside diameter and features a 3.63-inch width across flats, allowing it to seat securely in compatible die stocks. At 2.78 pounds, it provides solid mass for stable operation during threading. This type of adapter is typically installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics who need to run larger-diameter dies in a standard die stock or wrench setup.

Die adapters like the 318-2275 are used in residential and commercial pipe threading applications where standard die stocks need to accommodate dies of a specific outside diameter. The 3-inch die outside diameter and 3.63-inch width across flats make this adapter suited for medium to large pipe threading tasks. It is a single-piece unit sold individually, making it a practical replacement or addition to an existing threading kit on the job site or in the shop.
