Value Collection 365-3006 Hex Rethreading Die 3-12 Rh

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-3006 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads on fasteners and threaded rod. It is sized for 3-12 thread dimensions with a right-hand thread direction and conforms to the UNS thread standard. The die body measures 5 inches across the hex flats, allowing use with a standard die stock or wrench. Constructed from carbon steel, it provides the hardness needed to chase and clean threads without deforming under normal hand-tool torque. This tool is a standard item in the kit of plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics who regularly service threaded connections in the field.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance and repair applications where external threads have been damaged by corrosion, impact, or cross-threading. It is used on fasteners, studs, and threaded rod in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. The 3-12 thread size and UNS standard make it applicable across a range of inch-series fasteners commonly found in plumbing, HVAC equipment mounting, and general mechanical assemblies. One die is included per package.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by hand using a properly sized die stock or wrench that fits the 5-inch hex. Before use, clean loose debris and corrosion from the damaged thread area to reduce resistance and extend die life. Apply cutting oil to the thread and die during use to reduce friction and heat buildup. This tool is intended for thread restoration only — it does not cut new threads in blank stock.
