Value Collection 365-1030 Hex Rethreading Die 3/8-40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1030 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads without cutting new ones. It is manufactured from carbon steel and sized for 3/8-40 thread, right-hand direction, to the UNS thread standard. The hex body profile allows use with a standard wrench or die holder for controlled torque during rethreading. Maintenance technicians, plumbers, and electricians use this type of die when field-repairing fasteners, fittings, or threaded rod that has sustained thread damage from corrosion, cross-threading, or mechanical wear.

This rethreading die is suited for light maintenance and repair work on 3/8-40 UNS right-hand threaded components. Typical applications include restoring thread integrity on bolts, machine screws, or threaded fittings encountered during HVAC, plumbing, or electrical service work. It is packaged as a single unit, making it practical for toolbox stocking or one-off repair jobs in the field or shop environment.

Key Features

• 3/8-40 thread size for UNS standard right-hand external threads
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness suitable for rethreading common fastener materials
• Hex body design accepts standard wrenches and die holders for controlled application
• Right-hand thread direction matches the majority of standard fasteners and fittings
• Single-piece packaging for easy toolbox or parts-room stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use on 3/8-40 UNS right-hand externally threaded fasteners and components requiring thread restoration.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by maintenance technicians and trade professionals during repair procedures. Before use, clean the damaged threads of debris and apply cutting oil to reduce friction and extend die life. Run the die slowly over the damaged thread section using steady, even pressure. Always verify thread size and direction before use to avoid further thread damage.
