Value Collection 365-2404 Hex Rethreading Die 2-5/8-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-2404 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, this die handles the physical demands of rethreading without deforming under torque. It is sized for a 2-5/8-8 thread profile with a right-hand thread direction and conforms to the UNS thread standard. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics use rethreading dies to salvage bolts, rods, and pipe fittings rather than replacing them outright, saving time on the job.

This die is suited for industrial maintenance, mechanical repair, and trade service applications where 2-5/8-8 UNS right-hand external threads need to be cleaned up or restored. It fits standard hex die stocks that accept the appropriate die size, making it compatible with common hand-operated die holders found in most trade shops and service vehicles. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both shop use and field service work.

Key Features

• 2-5/8-8 thread size for restoring large-diameter right-hand external threads
• Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener and fitting standard
• Carbon steel construction provides durability for repeated rethreading tasks
• Conforms to UNS thread standard for consistent fitment
• Hex body design seats securely in standard hex die stocks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service rethreading die for use with hex die stocks sized to accept a 2-5/8-8 die body.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are typically used by machinists, pipefitters, or maintenance mechanics and require a compatible hex die stock handle for operation. Clean and lubricate the damaged threads before running the die to reduce wear and improve thread quality. Apply appropriate cutting oil during use to extend die life and produce cleaner thread form. Ensure the die is started straight on the fastener or rod to avoid cross-threading.
