Value Collection 365-1025 Hex Rethreading Die 3/8-27

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1025 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original 3/8-27 UNS specification. Machined from carbon steel, this die delivers the hardness needed to clean and recut threads on fasteners, fittings, and threaded rod. The hex body shape allows a standard wrench or die stock to drive it with consistent torque. It is a practical shop and field tool for licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians who need to salvage threaded connections rather than replace entire components.

This die is suited for rethreading 3/8-inch diameter external threads at a 27 threads-per-inch pitch in the right-hand direction, conforming to the UNS thread standard. Typical applications include restoring pipe threads, conduit fittings, and mechanical fasteners encountered in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical service work. It is well-suited for both shop bench use and on-site repairs where a replacement threaded part is not immediately available.

Key Features

• 3/8-27 UNS thread specification for precise thread restoration
• Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener and fitting orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides the hardness needed for effective rethreading
• Hex body design accepts standard wrenches and die stocks for controlled driving
• Compact and lightweight at 0.06 pounds for easy transport in a field tool kit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rethreading tool for restoring 3/8-27 UNS right-hand external threads on fasteners, pipe fittings, and threaded components across plumbing, HVAC, and electrical applications.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by licensed tradespeople during service and repair work. Before rethreading any fitting or fastener, de-energize electrical circuits, shut off gas supply, or depressurize plumbing lines as applicable to the system being serviced. Apply cutting oil to the die and the workpiece before use to reduce friction and extend die life. Start the die squarely on the damaged thread to avoid cross-threading.
