Value Collection 365-1568 Hex Rethreading Die 1-7/8-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1568 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, this die is sized for 1-7/8-18 threads and follows the UNS (Unified National Special) thread standard with a right-hand thread direction. It is used by machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians to clean up and recondition threaded fasteners, fittings, and rod ends without full thread cutting. The hex body accepts a standard die stock or wrench for controlled, consistent torque application during rethreading operations.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance and repair applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade service environments where restoring thread integrity on existing hardware is required. The 1-7/8-18 UNS specification makes it appropriate for specialty fastener and fitting applications where fine-pitch threads at this diameter are standard. It is a single-piece unit packaged individually, ready for immediate use in the field or shop.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and maintenance tool for applications requiring 1-7/8-18 UNS right-hand external thread restoration on bolts, studs, rods, and fittings.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by machinists, pipefitters, or maintenance technicians. Before use, secure the workpiece and ensure it is free of burrs or extreme corrosion that could damage the die. Apply cutting oil generously during operation to reduce heat and extend die life. Turn the die in short increments, backing off periodically to clear chips and debris from the thread path.
