Value Collection 365-1085 Hex Rethreading Die 1-1/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1085 is a hex rethreading die used to chase and restore damaged or corroded external threads. It is sized for 1-1/8-16 UNS thread form and cuts in a right-hand direction. The die measures 1 inch thick and fits a 2-inch hex holder or wrench for positive torque transfer. Constructed from carbon steel, it provides adequate hardness for rethreading fasteners, bolts, and fittings encountered in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC service work. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for this type of die when restoring threads in the field or at a bench without replacing the fastener or fitting outright.

This die is suited for thread restoration on 1-1/8-16 UNS external threads found on bolts, studs, and threaded fittings across industrial and trade applications. It is commonly used in maintenance and repair operations where vibration, corrosion, or impact has damaged thread form and full replacement of the fastener is not practical. Appropriate for both shop bench use and field service work where a standard hex wrench or holder is available.

Key Features

• 1-1/8-16 UNS thread size for precise thread restoration on matching fasteners and fittings
• Right-hand thread direction — standard orientation for the majority of mechanical applications
• 2-inch hex drive compatible with standard hex die stocks and adjustable wrenches
• 1 inch thickness provides sufficient contact length for clean thread chasing
• Carbon steel construction offers the hardness needed for rethreading common bolt and fitting materials

Compatibility

Designed for use with 2-inch hex die stocks and holders. Fits 1-1/8-16 UNS right-hand external thread applications. Verify holder compatibility before use.

Installation Notes

Thread restoration dies should be used by qualified machinists or trade technicians familiar with thread standards and hand-tapping technique. Clean and lubricate the workpiece threads before running the die to prevent galling and extend die life. Start the die square to the thread axis to avoid cross-threading. Always secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before applying torque through the die stock.
