Value Collection 365-1060 Hex Rethreading Die 3/4-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1060 is a hex rethreading die sized 3/4-18, designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, it delivers sufficient hardness for use on common pipe and fitting materials found in plumbing and HVAC applications. The right-hand thread direction conforms to standard UNS thread form, making it compatible with the vast majority of threaded connections encountered in the field. This die is a practical tool for service technicians who need to clean up threads on fittings, nipples, or valves without full replacement.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance and repair work in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and general mechanical applications. It is particularly useful when threads on existing pipe connections have been damaged during disassembly, exposed to corrosion, or deformed by improper installation. Technicians use hex rethreading dies with a standard die stock or wrench to chase threads quickly on the job site without requiring specialized equipment.

Key Features

• 3/4-18 thread size for compatibility with common pipe fitting sizes
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard UNS thread specification
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for thread restoration on typical pipe materials
• Hex body design allows use with standard die stocks and adjustable wrenches
• Lightweight at 0.22 pounds for easy carry in a field service bag or toolbox

Compatibility

Designed for restoring right-hand, 3/4-18 UNS external threads on pipe fittings, valves, and threaded connectors commonly used in plumbing and HVAC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Thread chasing and rethreading work should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician. Before rethreading any connection, isolate and depressurize the system and ensure the work area is safe. Apply cutting oil to the die and the workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Inspect the restored threads before reassembly to confirm full thread engagement and a leak-free connection.
