Value Collection 365-1036 Hex Rethreading Die 7/16-40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1036 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original 7/16-40 UNS specification. Made from carbon steel, this die is built to handle the mechanical demands of thread repair on fasteners, fittings, and threaded rods. The right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener convention. Rethreading dies like this one are used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and maintenance professionals who need to salvage threaded components rather than replace them. The hex body allows direct drive with a standard wrench, speeding up fieldwork and bench repairs alike.

This die is suited for light industrial and trade maintenance applications where 7/16-40 UNS external threads require cleaning or restoration. It is commonly used in shops and on job sites for repairing threaded fittings, machine screws, and similar fasteners that have been cross-threaded, corroded, or mechanically damaged. The compact hex form factor makes it practical for use in tight spaces where a full die stock may not fit.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rethreading tool for restoring damaged 7/16-40 UNS right-hand external threads on fasteners, fittings, and threaded components in trade and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Thread repair dies should be used by qualified trade professionals familiar with thread standards and hand tooling. Before use, clean debris and loose material from the damaged thread area to avoid die damage. Apply appropriate cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Do not force the die over severely damaged or out-of-round threads without first assessing whether the base material can support a restored thread.
