Value Collection 365-1408 Hex Rethreading Die 1-5/8-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1408 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Sized for 1-5/8-18 UNEF thread form with a 1 inch thickness, this die cuts in a right-hand direction and is machined from carbon steel for durable, repeated service use. It is a standard tool for maintenance and repair operations where restoring thread integrity on bolts, studs, or fittings is required rather than replacing the fastener. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians rely on this type of die to bring threaded components back to spec without full disassembly or part replacement.

This rethreading die is suited for repair and maintenance work on machinery, equipment, and structural fasteners where 1-5/8-18 UNEF threads are present. It is commonly used in industrial maintenance, mechanical repair shops, and trade service environments. The hex profile allows use with a standard rethreading die stock or appropriately sized wrench, making it practical for both bench work and in-place field repairs.

Key Features

• 1-5/8-18 UNEF thread size for precise thread restoration
• 1 inch thickness provides stable engagement and consistent thread cutting
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction for durable cutting performance

Compatibility

Designed for use on external threads conforming to the 1-5/8-18 UNEF thread standard. Fits standard hex die stocks sized for this die profile.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are installed and operated by machinists, maintenance technicians, or trade professionals familiar with hand threading tools. Before use, clean the damaged thread area to remove debris, rust, or burrs that could obstruct the die. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Always start the die squarely onto the existing thread to avoid cross-threading or further damage to the fastener.
