Value Collection 365-0201 Hex Rethreading Die 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-0201 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads on fasteners, bolts, and threaded rod. It cuts a 5/16-18 thread profile to the UNC standard with a right-hand thread direction. The die is machined from carbon steel, providing the hardness needed to chase and reform threads on common hardware materials. Maintenance technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade pros keep rethreading dies on hand for field repair work where replacing a threaded component is not practical.

This die is suited for use in maintenance, repair, and operations work across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. It is used to clean up threads on bolts, studs, and pipe fittings that have been damaged by corrosion, impact, or cross-threading. The 5/16-18 UNC size is one of the most common fastener threads in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, plumbing hangers, and structural hardware, making this die a practical addition to any service kit.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread profile restores one of the most common fastener sizes in trade work
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener applications
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness for thread chasing and reforming
• Hex body shape allows use with a standard wrench or die stock for controlled torque
• Compact single-piece die for easy storage in a tool bag or service kit

Compatibility

Designed for rethreading external 5/16-18 UNC right-hand threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod in general maintenance and repair applications.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are used by maintenance and trade professionals to restore damaged external threads without replacing the fastener. Before use, clean the threaded surface of debris, rust, and grease to allow the die to engage cleanly. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Secure the workpiece in a vise when possible, and turn the die slowly with steady, even pressure to avoid cross-threading or breaking the die.
