Value Collection 365-1022 Hex Rethreading Die 5/16-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1022 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to original spec. It cuts a 5/16-32 UNEF (Unified Extra Fine) thread profile with a right-hand direction, making it suitable for cleanup work on bolts, studs, and threaded rod where full thread replacement is not practical. The carbon steel construction provides the hardness needed to cut through light rust and minor thread damage on common fastener materials. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians reach for rethreading dies when a fastener needs to be reused but the thread condition prevents proper torquing or seating.

This die is used in maintenance, repair, and overhaul work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service. It fits applications where 5/16-32 UNEF threads appear on equipment fasteners, fittings, and precision assemblies. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for controlled cutting torque. It is well-suited for field repair scenarios where a tap-and-die set or individual dies are part of the service kit.

Key Features

• 5/16-32 UNEF thread profile for extra-fine pitch rethreading
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener applications
• Carbon steel construction for durability through typical rethreading tasks
• Hex body design accepts standard wrenches for controlled torque application
• Compact and lightweight at 0.06 pounds for easy inclusion in a field tool kit

Compatibility

Designed for use on external threads with a 5/16-32 UNEF thread standard. Compatible with standard hex die stocks and wrenches that accept the corresponding hex body size.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are used by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians during equipment repair and maintenance. Before use, de-energize or isolate any equipment the fastener is associated with and clean the damaged thread area of debris and loose corrosion. Apply cutting oil to the die and the work surface to reduce friction and extend die life. Do not force the die past resistance, as this can further damage the thread or crack the die.
