Value Collection 365-1565 Hex Rethreading Die 1-7/8-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1565 is a hex rethreading die used to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. It is sized for 1-7/8-8 thread form, following the Unified National Special (UNS) standard with a right-hand thread direction. The die is machined from carbon steel, providing the hardness needed to cut and reform threads on fasteners, studs, and threaded rod in both shop and field conditions. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for rethreading dies when threads are burred, rusted, or cross-threaded and replacement of the fastener is not practical.

This die is appropriate for use in industrial maintenance, heavy equipment repair, and mechanical assembly applications where large-diameter coarse-pitch threads are common. The 1-7/8-8 thread size is encountered on large structural fasteners, hydraulic fittings, and heavy machinery tie rods. Its hex outer profile allows it to be driven with a standard wrench or rethreading die stock without slippage. Suitable for shop bench work or on-site field repair in manufacturing, construction, and plant maintenance environments.

Key Features

• 1-7/8-8 thread size for large-diameter coarse-pitch fastener repair
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener applications
• UNS thread standard for correct profile restoration
• Carbon steel construction provides cutting hardness for thread chasing
• Hex outer profile compatible with standard wrenches and die stocks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rethreading die for restoring external 1-7/8-8 right-hand UNS threads on fasteners, studs, and threaded rod in industrial and mechanical maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

This die is used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians performing thread repair. Before use, ensure the workpiece is secure and apply cutting oil to the die and thread surface to reduce friction and improve thread form quality. Always start the die square to the thread axis to avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear appropriate hand protection when handling cutting tools.
