Value Collection 365-2732 Hex Pipe Die 1/2-14 Bspp

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-2732 is a hex pipe die designed to cut external British Standard Pipe Parallel (BSPP) threads onto pipe and fittings. Sized for a 1/2-14 BSPP thread specification, this die produces right-hand threads and seats into a standard 1-5/8 inch hex die stock. Constructed from carbon steel, it delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for threading mild steel, iron, and similar materials. Weighing 0.25 pounds, the compact form makes it easy to handle during threading operations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical tradespeople rely on this type of die for fabricating or repairing threaded connections on hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-system piping.

This die is suited for applications requiring BSPP (G-series) threaded connections, which are common in imported equipment, hydraulic systems, and fluid-transfer assemblies. It is appropriate for use in light commercial and industrial settings where BSP-standard fittings are specified. The 1/2-14 thread size corresponds to nominal 1/2 inch pipe with 14 threads per inch, a common size in hydraulic and pneumatic plumbing work.

Key Features

• Cuts 1/2-14 BSPP (G-series) right-hand external threads
• 1-5/8 inch hex body fits standard hex die stocks and holders
• Carbon steel construction for durability on mild steel and iron pipe
• Right-hand thread direction for standard pipe and fitting applications
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds for easy single-hand use during threading

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental hex pipe die for use in standard 1-5/8 inch hex die stocks that accept BSPP threading dies. Confirm die stock compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or hydraulic technicians using a compatible hex die stock or threading handle. Ensure the pipe end is deburred, chamfered, and clean before beginning the threading operation. Apply cutting oil throughout the threading process to prolong die life and produce clean thread form. Inspect finished threads against a BSPP gauge or test fitting before assembly.
