Value Collection 365-1567 Hex Rethreading Die 1-7/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1567 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original profile. Built from carbon steel, this die handles the rigors of field and shop use on 1-7/8-16 UNS right-hand threaded fasteners and fittings. The hex body allows a standard die stock or wrench to apply consistent torque during the chasing operation. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for this tool when a bolt, rod end, or fitting needs its threads cleaned up rather than replaced outright.

This rethreading die is suited for use in industrial maintenance, mechanical repair shops, and trade service environments where restoring rather than replacing threaded components saves time and material cost. The 1-7/8-16 thread designation covers a relatively coarse pitch on a large-diameter fastener, which appears in heavy equipment, hydraulic systems, and structural assemblies. Right-hand thread direction is the standard orientation for the vast majority of threaded fasteners encountered in these applications.

Key Features

• 1-7/8-16 UNS thread size restores large-diameter right-hand external threads
• Carbon steel construction provides the hardness needed for thread chasing on steel fasteners and fittings
• Hex body profile accepts a standard die stock or open-end wrench for controlled torque application
• Right-hand thread direction matches the standard orientation used in the majority of mechanical assemblies
• Single-piece die construction with no moving parts to wear or misalign during use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rethreading tool for external 1-7/8-16 UNS right-hand threaded fasteners, rods, and fittings in industrial and mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by machinists, pipefitters, or maintenance technicians performing thread restoration work. Before chasing threads on an installed component, de-energize or depressurize the system and secure the workpiece against rotation. Apply a cutting or tapping fluid to the die and the workpiece to reduce friction and extend tool life. Do not force the die through heavily damaged threads in a single pass; back off periodically to clear debris and reduce heat buildup.
