Value Collection 365-2008 Hex Rethreading Die 2-18 Rh

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-2008 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads on fasteners, pipe fittings, and threaded rod. It cuts a 2-18 thread profile in the right-hand direction to the UNS thread standard. Constructed from carbon steel, this die delivers the hardness needed to chase and clean threads on common mild-steel and iron fasteners. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals keep hex rethreading dies on hand for field repairs where replacing a threaded component is not practical.

This die is suited for use in maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments across mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. It is used to rehabilitate threads on bolts, studs, and fittings that have been damaged by rust, impact, or cross-threading. The hex body allows standard open-end or box wrenches to drive the die without requiring a dedicated die stock, making it practical for confined spaces and field work.

Key Features

• 2-18 thread size in UNS thread standard for specialized large-diameter thread restoration
• Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides sufficient hardness for chasing mild-steel and iron threads
• Hex body profile accepts standard open-end or box wrenches — no die stock required
• Sold individually, suitable for single-job or kit restocking needs

Compatibility

Designed for rethreading external 2-18 UNS right-hand threads on bolts, studs, fittings, and threaded rod in general MRO and trade applications.

Installation Notes

Use of a rethreading die should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with thread standards and hand-tool procedures. Ensure the workpiece is secured before applying the die, and apply cutting oil to reduce friction and extend die life. Inspect the restored thread with a mating nut or thread gauge before returning the fastener to service. Do not use this die to cut new threads into unthreaded stock — it is intended for chasing and restoring existing thread profiles only.
