Value Collection 365-2085 Hex Rethreading Die 2-1/8-12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-2085 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Sized for a 2-1/8-12 thread profile with a right-hand thread direction, this die follows the UNS (Unified National Special) thread standard. Constructed from carbon steel, it delivers the hardness needed to chase and re-form threads on fasteners, pipe fittings, and threaded rod commonly encountered in mechanical, plumbing, and industrial maintenance work. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for rethreading dies when bolt or fitting threads are too damaged to engage properly but the component is otherwise serviceable.

This die is suited for field and shop use wherever a 2-1/8-12 UNS right-hand external thread needs to be cleaned up or restored. Typical applications include heavy mechanical assemblies, large-diameter fasteners, and industrial piping connections where replacing the entire threaded component is not practical. The hex body allows a standard die stock or wrench to drive the tool with controlled torque, making it manageable in confined spaces as well as on the bench.

Key Features

• 2-1/8-12 thread size restores large-diameter UNS external threads
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener and fitting configurations
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness for chasing and re-forming metal threads
• Hex body design accepts a standard die stock or adjustable wrench for positive drive
• UNS thread standard covers specialized pitch requirements not found in standard UN series dies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use rethreading die for 2-1/8-12 UNS right-hand external threaded components in mechanical and industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are used by pipefitters, machinists, and maintenance mechanics — always wear appropriate hand and eye protection when chasing threads. Secure the workpiece firmly before applying the die to prevent movement that could cross-thread or damage the die. Apply a suitable cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend tool life. Inspect threads after rethreading to confirm proper engagement with a mating nut or fitting before returning the assembly to service.
