Value Collection 365-0045 Hex Pipe Die 2-11/2 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-0045 is a hex pipe die designed to cut 2-11/2 NPT external threads on pipe and fittings. Machined from carbon steel, this die delivers the hardness and durability needed for threading operations on ferrous pipe. The 3-3/4 inch hex body seats securely in a standard pipe threading stock or die head, allowing controlled, repeatable cuts. Right-hand thread direction follows standard NPT convention. This tool is used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on new installations and maintenance jobs where field-cut threads are required.

This die is suited for threading 2-inch nominal pipe with 11-1/2 threads per inch to the NPT standard, a common specification in commercial plumbing, industrial piping, and mechanical systems. Typical applications include water supply, gas distribution, and steam lines where tapered NPT threads are required for pressure-tight connections. It is installed using a matching pipe threading stock that accepts a 3-3/4 inch hex die.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this die should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with pipe threading equipment. Secure the die properly in the threading stock before beginning a cut, and apply appropriate cutting oil throughout the threading process to extend die life and improve thread quality. Inspect the finished thread with an NPT gauge before assembly to confirm fit. Follow all applicable plumbing codes, including IPC requirements, for threaded pipe connections.
