Value Collection 365-1407 Hex Rethreading Die 1-5/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1407 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. It cuts a 1-5/8-16 UNS right-hand thread profile and measures 1 inch thick, giving it the rigidity needed for controlled, accurate thread restoration. The die is machined from carbon steel, which provides the hardness required to cut through rust, burrs, and deformed thread flanks. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades use rethreading dies like this one when field conditions damage threaded connections and replacement of the fastener or fitting is not practical.

This die is suited for rethreading 1-5/8-16 UNS external threads on bolts, rods, fittings, and similar threaded components encountered in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC applications. The hex body allows it to be driven with a standard rethreading die stock or an appropriately sized wrench. It is used in both shop and field settings where restoring a thread is faster and more economical than replacing the parent component.

Key Features

• 1-5/8-16 UNS right-hand thread profile for accurate thread restoration
• 1 inch thick hex body provides stability and reduces flex during cutting
• Carbon steel construction delivers the hardness needed to cut through damaged threads
• Hex form accepts standard die stocks and open-end wrenches for easy driving
• Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener and fitting standard

Compatibility

Designed for rethreading external 1-5/8-16 UNS right-hand threads on bolts, rods, and threaded fittings in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC service applications.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by mechanical, plumbing, or HVAC trades during repair and maintenance work. Before use, secure the workpiece firmly and apply cutting oil to the die and the damaged thread to reduce friction and extend tool life. Start the die squarely on the thread to avoid cross-threading, and advance with steady, even pressure. Do not force the die if it binds — back off slightly to clear chips and reapply cutting oil before continuing.
