Value Collection 365-0917 Adjustable Pipe Die 3/8-19 Bspt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-0917 is a round adjustable pipe die designed to cut 3/8-19 BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) external threads. Made from high-speed steel, the die holds an edge through repeated use on pipe and fittings. At 1-1/2 inches in outside diameter, it fits standard round die stocks of the matching size. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by opening or closing the die slightly, reducing the need to run multiple passes with a fixed die. Plumbers and pipefitters use this die when fabricating or rethreading pipe that connects into BSPT-standard fittings common in imported equipment and fluid-system assemblies.

This die is suited for threading pipe in plumbing, hydraulic, pneumatic, and general fluid-conveyance applications where BSPT threads are specified. Right-hand thread direction matches standard BSPT pipe and fitting conventions. The 3/8-19 designation indicates a 3/8-inch nominal pipe size at 19 threads per inch, consistent with BSPT specifications. It is commonly used in shop or field conditions by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics working on systems that require BSPT-threaded connections.

Compatibility

Designed for use in any standard round die stock with a 1-1/2 inch die capacity. Suitable for cutting 3/8-19 BSPT right-hand external threads on pipe and fittings in plumbing and fluid-system assemblies.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting with this die should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or machinist familiar with BSPT thread standards. Secure the workpiece firmly in a pipe vise before engaging the die stock. Apply cutting oil continuously during the threading operation to extend die life and produce a clean thread form. Inspect the finished thread with a BSPT gauge or mating fitting before assembling into a pressurized system.
