Value Collection 365-2248 Hex Rethreading Die 2-3/8-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-2248 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads on fasteners, pipe fittings, and threaded rod. It cuts a 2-3/8-20 thread profile conforming to the UNS (Unified National Special) thread standard, with a right-hand thread direction. Constructed from carbon steel, the die delivers the hardness needed for rethreading common mild steel and iron fasteners encountered in mechanical, plumbing, and industrial maintenance work. The hex outer profile allows use with a standard die stock or wrench for controlled torque application. Licensed technicians and maintenance professionals reach for this die when field repairs need to clean up threads without full replacement of the fastener or fitting.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance and repair applications where 2-3/8-20 UNS external threads have been damaged by rust, impact, or cross-threading. Typical use cases include restoring threads on large-diameter fasteners, structural hardware, and specialty fittings in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service environments. The right-hand thread direction matches the overwhelming majority of standard threaded fastener applications. It is sold as a single die, making it a practical addition to a field technician's thread repair kit.

Installation Notes

Thread rethreading dies are typically used by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and millwrights performing field repairs. Secure the workpiece firmly before applying the die to prevent movement during rethreading. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece threads to reduce heat and extend die life. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use, and retire the die if cutting edges are visibly damaged.
