Value Collection 365-1488 Hex Rethreading Die 1-3/4-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1488 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, this die cuts right-hand threads to the UNS thread standard at a 1-3/4-18 thread size. At 1 inch thick, it provides the material engagement needed for accurate thread restoration on fasteners, fittings, and threaded rod. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for rethreading dies when a bolt or fitting thread is too damaged to engage properly but the component itself is still serviceable.

This die is suited for maintenance and repair operations across industrial, mechanical, and trade settings. It is used wherever 1-3/4-18 UNS right-hand external threads need to be cleaned up or re-cut — including work on hydraulic fittings, heavy fasteners, and threaded shaft ends. Its hex outer profile seats into a standard die stock or wrench for controlled manual operation.

Key Features

• 1-3/4-18 thread size for UNS right-hand thread profile
• Carbon steel construction for durability through repeated use
• 1 inch thickness provides solid thread engagement depth

• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard fastener orientation

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard hex die stocks sized to accept a hex rethreading die for 1-3/4-18 UNS right-hand external thread restoration.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are used by machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working on damaged external threads. Secure the workpiece firmly before applying the die to prevent movement. Apply a cutting fluid or thread-cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Always ensure the die is started square to the thread axis to avoid cross-threading or die damage.
