Value Collection 365-1070 Hex Rethreading Die 1-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1070 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads on fasteners, pipe fittings, and threaded rod. It cuts a 1-16 thread profile in the UNS (Unified National Special) standard with a right-hand thread direction. The die measures 1 inch thick and is machined from carbon steel, providing the hardness needed to clean and recut threads in common fastener materials. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians keep this type of die on hand for field repairs where replacing a threaded component is not practical.

This rethreading die is suited for repair work in mechanical, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications. The 1-16 designation indicates a 1-inch nominal diameter with 16 threads per inch, a thread count used on heavy fasteners and some pipe and hydraulic fitting applications. The hex body allows the die to be driven with a standard die stock or wrench for controlled torque during thread restoration. It is appropriate for both shop bench work and field service where a portable thread repair tool is needed.

Key Features

• 1-16 thread size restores 1-inch diameter, 16 threads per inch external threads
• UNS thread standard for compatibility with unified national special threaded components
• Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides the hardness needed for thread chasing and recutting
• 1 inch thick hex body fits standard die stocks and can be driven with an open-end wrench
• Single-piece construction with no adjustable parts for straightforward field use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement rethreading die for use with standard hex die stocks sized for 1-inch dies in industrial, plumbing, and mechanical maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Thread rethreading dies are used by plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics working under applicable trade codes. Before chasing threads on a live system, de-energize, depressurize, and isolate the assembly completely. Apply cutting oil to the die and the workpiece before use to reduce friction and extend die life. Inspect the die for chipping or wear before each use, and retire any die with damaged cutting edges to avoid further thread damage.
