Value Collection 365-1010 Hex Rethreading Die 5/16-27

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1010 is a hex rethreading die designed to clean and restore damaged or corroded external threads without requiring full thread removal or part replacement. Sized for 5/16-27 thread profiles and conforming to UNS thread standards, this die runs right-hand and is machined from carbon steel for consistent cutting performance. It is a standard shop and field tool used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance trades whenever fastener or fitting threads are stripped, rusted, or distorted and need to be brought back to spec before reassembly.

This rethreading die suits applications where 5/16-27 UNS right-hand external threads appear on fittings, fasteners, valves, or mechanical assemblies across residential and light commercial work. It is a single-piece die intended for hand or die-stock use in repair and maintenance scenarios rather than production threading. Its hex body allows wrench engagement for added torque control in tight spaces or when working on stubborn, corroded threads.

Key Features

• 5/16-27 thread size restores UNS right-hand external threads to original specification
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for rethreading common fastener and fitting materials
• Hex body design allows wrench or die-stock engagement for controlled torque application
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation for straightforward use
• Compact and lightweight at 0.06 pounds, suitable for tool bags and field kits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use rethreading die for external 5/16-27 UNS right-hand threaded fasteners and fittings in trade maintenance and repair applications.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are used by licensed trades and maintenance technicians working on threaded components. Always de-energize, depressurize, or shut off the relevant system before working on any threaded fitting or fastener. Apply cutting oil or thread lubricant to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Run the die slowly and back off periodically to clear chips and avoid thread distortion.
