Value Collection 365-1162 Hex Rethreading Die 1-1/4-12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1162 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original profile. Built from carbon steel, this die handles 1-1/4-12 UNF right-hand threads and measures 1 inch thick. Rethreading dies are used when threads are cross-threaded, rusted, or otherwise compromised and need to be cleaned up without full replacement of the fastener or fitting. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for controlled torque application. This is a single-piece die intended for hand or tap-and-die set use across plumbing, mechanical, and general trade service work.

This die is suited for residential and commercial maintenance applications where 1-1/4-12 UNF threaded fasteners, rods, or fittings require thread restoration. Common installation scenarios include pipe fitting repairs, hydraulic line service, and mechanical assembly maintenance. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance mechanics working on fine-pitch unified thread fasteners will find this die appropriate for field and shop use alike.

Key Features

• 1-1/4-12 UNF thread size for fine-pitch unified thread restoration
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener compatibility
• Carbon steel construction provides durability for repeated use on steel fasteners
• 1 inch thick body offers sufficient thread engagement for clean rethreading passes
• Hex outer profile accepts standard wrenches for controlled torque application

Compatibility

Designed as a rethreading die for 1-1/4-12 UNF right-hand external threads on bolts, rods, and fittings in standard unified fine-thread applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified mechanics or trade professionals familiar with tap-and-die procedures. Ensure the workpiece threads and die are clean and properly lubricated with cutting oil before making rethreading passes to reduce wear and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece before applying torque to the die to prevent movement or injury. Follow applicable shop safety practices when working with cutting tools.
