Value Collection 365-1244 Hex Rethreading Die 1-3/8-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1244 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original profile. Built from carbon steel, it handles the mechanical stress of chasing threads on fasteners, pipe fittings, studs, and threaded rod. The 1-3/8-8 thread size designates a 1-3/8 inch nominal diameter with 8 threads per inch in a UNS thread standard. At 1 inch thick, the die provides sufficient engagement length for consistent, clean thread restoration. Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener convention. Machinists, pipe fitters, and maintenance technicians keep rethreading dies like this on hand for field and shop repair work.

This die is suited for restoring UNS right-hand threads on bolts, studs, threaded pipe nipples, and similar fasteners encountered in industrial maintenance, mechanical repair, and plumbing applications. The 1-3/8-8 specification is commonly found on heavy-duty bolting used in equipment flanges and structural assemblies. It is appropriate for both shop use and field service where a threading die wrench or die stock is available.

Installation Notes

Thread rethreading should be performed by a qualified machinist, pipe fitter, or maintenance technician. Secure the workpiece before applying the die to prevent movement during threading. Apply a suitable cutting oil to the die and work surface to reduce friction and extend die life. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before use and never force a damaged or misaligned die onto a fastener.
