Value Collection 364-0223 Hex Rethreading Die M22x2.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0223 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric threads without replacing the fastener or workpiece. The die cuts a right-hand M22x2.5 thread profile conforming to the Metric Coarse standard. Constructed from carbon steel, it delivers sufficient hardness for use on common fastener materials encountered in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC service work. A hex outer profile allows the die to be driven with a standard wrench or rethreading die holder for controlled torque application. This is a single-piece tool sold individually.

This rethreading die is suited for field repair and shop maintenance work where metric fasteners have sustained thread damage from corrosion, cross-threading, or impact. Typical applications include restoring threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. It is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance trades working with metric hardware at the M22 diameter.

Key Features

• M22x2.5 thread size for Metric Coarse standard rethreading
• Right-hand thread direction matches the majority of standard metric fasteners
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness suitable for common fastener materials
• Hex outer profile accepts standard wrenches and die holders for torque control
• Single-piece packaging for individual replacement or kit supplementation

Compatibility

Designed as a rethreading die for external M22x2.5 Metric Coarse right-hand threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod of compatible material and diameter.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are installed by licensed mechanics and trade professionals using a die holder or appropriately sized wrench. Before use, clean the damaged thread area and apply cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend die life. Start the die squarely on the fastener to avoid cross-threading. Inspect the restored thread with a nut or thread gauge before returning the fastener to service.
