Built from carbon steel, this die cuts right-hand threads in the 1-3\/8-18 UNEF (Unified Extra Fine) thread standard. At 1 inch thick, it provides the rigidity needed for accurate thread restoration on bolts, studs, and threaded rod. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC techs, and maintenance mechanics reach for rethreading dies when field-damaged fasteners need to be salvaged rather than replaced. This die fits standard hex die stocks and handles compatible with its 1-3\/8-inch outside diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die is suited for use in maintenance, repair, and overhaul work across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Typical applications include restoring threads on equipment mounting studs, valve stems, and structural fasteners where the 1-3\/8-18 UNEF thread form is specified. Right-hand thread direction matches the vast majority of standard fastener applications. The carbon steel construction holds a cutting edge through repeated use on mild steel and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-3\/8-18 UNEF thread specification for extra fine pitch thread restoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction — matches standard fastener orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction for durability and cutting edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 inch thickness provides stability during threading operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body design fits standard die stocks and handle sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard hex die stocks and handles that accept a die sized for the 1-3\/8-18 UNEF thread form.

Secure the workpiece firmly before engaging the die to prevent movement during thread cutting. Apply cutting oil generously to the threads and die throughout the operation to reduce friction and extend die life. Follow all applicable shop safety practices, including eye protection, when performing threading operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNEF (Unified Extra Fine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112805\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 365-1246\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721436201266,"sku":"365-1246","price":75.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4790f8a3eb6dcd4a3e6a6dcf3e1bb4d1.jpg?v=1788577403","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-365-1246-hex-rethreading-die-1-3-8-18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
