Value Collection 365-1325 Hex Rethreading Die 1-1/2-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1325 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads on fasteners, pipe fittings, and threaded rod. It cuts a 1-1/2-16 UNS thread profile with a right-hand direction and measures 1 inch thick. The die is machined from carbon steel, providing the hardness needed to chase and clean degraded threads without deforming. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics reach for rethreading dies when a fastener or fitting has thread damage that would otherwise require full replacement of the component.

This die is suited for field repair and shop maintenance work where 1-1/2-inch, 16-thread-per-inch UNS external threads need to be restored to spec. It fits standard hex die stocks of the appropriate size, making it compatible with common hand-threading setups found in trade and maintenance environments. Typical applications include restoring threads on heavy fasteners, hydraulic fittings, and mechanical assemblies across industrial, plumbing, and general maintenance settings.

Key Features

• 1-1/2-16 UNS thread profile restores damaged external threads to specification
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener and fitting applications
• 1 inch thick die body provides rigidity during thread chasing
• Carbon steel construction delivers the hardness needed for effective rethreading
• Hex outer profile seats securely in a standard hex die stock

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard hex die stocks sized for 1-1/2-inch dies. Fits common hand-threading setups used in plumbing, pipefitting, and general mechanical maintenance.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified maintenance mechanic should perform rethreading work on pressurized or load-bearing assemblies. De-energize and depressurize any system before chasing threads on installed components. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece during operation to reduce heat and extend die life. Inspect the rethreaded component for full thread engagement and proper fit before returning the assembly to service.
