Value Collection 365-0011 Hex Pipe Die 1/4-18 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-0011 is a hex pipe die used to cut external NPT threads on pipe and fittings. It produces a 1/4-18 NPT right-hand thread profile and is driven by a standard 1-1/4 inch hex die stock. Manufactured from carbon steel, this die delivers the hardness needed for threading steel, iron, and similar materials commonly found in plumbing and HVAC piping systems. It is a single-piece die intended for use in manual or machine die stocks by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on threaded pipe connections.

This pipe die is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas piping, and HVAC refrigerant or water piping applications where 1/4-18 NPT threaded connections are required. It is used when cutting new threads on pipe stock or re-threading damaged pipe ends in the field or shop. The compact hex form factor fits standard die stocks that accept 1-1/4 inch hex dies, making it compatible with common threading setups already on most service trucks or in pipe shops.

Installation Notes

Pipe dies are installed and used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians. Secure the die properly in a matching hex die stock before beginning any threading operation. Apply a suitable cutting oil to the pipe and die during threading to reduce heat, extend die life, and produce a cleaner thread form. Inspect the cut threads with a NPT gauge or test fitting before assembly to confirm proper taper and engagement.
