Value Collection 365-2163 Hex Rethreading Die 2-1/4-6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-2163 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads on fasteners, pipe fittings, bolts, and threaded rod. It cuts a 2-1/4-6 thread profile following the UNS (Unified National Special) thread standard with a right-hand thread direction. Constructed from carbon steel, this die delivers the hardness needed to clean and recut threads on common steel and iron fasteners. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics reach for rethreading dies when salvaging field-damaged threaded components rather than replacing them outright.

This die is suited for use in industrial maintenance, mechanical repair shops, and heavy trade field work where large-diameter fasteners and pipe connections are common. The 2-1/4-6 thread size falls in the heavy fastener and large-diameter pipe fitting range, making it relevant for structural bolting, large valve stems, and similar applications. It is sold individually and is ready for use with a compatible hex die stock or die holder that accepts the corresponding hex drive size.

Key Features

• 2-1/4-6 thread size restores large-diameter external threads in a single pass
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard fastener orientation
• UNS thread standard for use on unified national special thread profiles
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness suitable for rethreading steel and iron components
• Hex body design seats securely in a standard hex die stock for controlled cutting torque

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement rethreading die for use with hex die stocks sized to accept a 2-1/4-6 hex die body.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by machinists, pipefitters, and mechanical tradespeople. Before use, secure the workpiece firmly and apply a cutting oil to the die and the damaged thread to reduce friction and extend die life. Use steady, controlled force through the die stock and back off periodically to clear chips. Inspect the restored threads with a thread gauge or mating fastener before returning the component to service.
