Value Collection 364-0046 Hex Rethreading Die M4.5x0.75

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0046 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric threads without removing the fastener from the assembly. Built from carbon steel, this die handles M4.5x0.75 metric coarse thread profiles with a right-hand cutting direction. It fits standard hex die stocks and is used by mechanics, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians when field repairs require thread cleanup rather than full thread cutting. The hex body allows for positive engagement with a die wrench or socket, making it practical for confined repair work.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance and repair applications across mechanical, plumbing, and light industrial environments. It is used to chase and restore M4.5x0.75 metric coarse external threads on bolts, studs, and fittings that have sustained thread damage from corrosion, impact, or cross-threading. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for most metric fastener applications.

Key Features

• M4.5x0.75 metric coarse thread profile for restoring small-diameter external threads
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard metric fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for thread chasing on common fastener materials
• Hex body design seats securely in standard die stocks and adjustable die wrenches
• Metric coarse thread standard (UNSPSC 27112805) for broad field compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental rethreading die for use with standard hex die stocks accommodating M4.5x0.75 metric coarse thread profiles.

Installation Notes

A licensed mechanic or trained maintenance technician should perform thread restoration work. Before chasing threads on an installed fastener or fitting, relieve system pressure and de-energize any associated equipment per applicable safety procedures. Apply cutting oil to the die and fastener before use to reduce heat and extend die life. Do not force the die onto severely damaged threads; inspect the fastener first to confirm it is salvageable.
