Value Collection 365-1049 Hex Rethreading Die 9/16-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1049 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to original specification. It cuts a 9/16-32 thread profile in the right-hand direction, following the UNS (Unified National Special) thread standard. Constructed from carbon steel, this die delivers sufficient hardness for rethreading fasteners, fittings, and threaded rod encountered in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC service work. It weighs approximately 0.09 pounds, making it easy to handle in tight spaces. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals use rethreading dies to clean and restore threads without full replacement of the fastener or fitting.

This die is suited for field repair and shop maintenance applications where 9/16-32 UNS right-hand threads need to be restored on bolts, studs, nipples, or threaded fittings. The 9/16-32 thread size is a finer-pitch UNS specification, making this die appropriate for applications requiring precision thread restoration rather than coarse-thread work. It fits standard hex die stocks or wrenches, allowing use with common hand tools available in most trade shops or service vehicles.

Key Features

• 9/16-32 UNS thread profile for precise rethreading of fine-pitch external threads
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for thread restoration on steel and softer metals
• Hex body design fits standard die stocks and adjustable wrenches
• Lightweight at 0.09 pounds for easy single-hand use in the field

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling addition for use with hex die stocks compatible with 9/16-32 UNS right-hand thread applications.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by machinists or trade technicians using a compatible hex die stock or wrench. Before rethreading, clean the fastener or fitting of debris, rust, and burrs to reduce die wear and improve thread quality. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece during use to reduce friction and extend tool life. Inspect the finished threads with a thread gauge before reassembling any pressurized or load-bearing connection.
