Value Collection 365-3724 Hex Pipe Die 3/8-19 Bspt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-3724 is a hexagonal pipe die designed to cut external 3/8-19 BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) threads on pipe stock. The die is machined from carbon steel, providing the hardness and wear resistance needed for threading mild steel and iron pipe in field and shop environments. At 1-7/16 inches across the hex, it seats in standard adjustable die stocks and hand die holders that accept hex-body dies. This is a right-hand thread die, producing standard clockwise threads as viewed from the cutting face. Pipefitters, plumbers, and mechanical contractors use this die when fabricating or repairing BSPT-threaded pipe assemblies.

This die is suited for threading pipe in plumbing, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems where BSPT connections are specified. BSPT is a tapered thread standard commonly used in fluid power fittings, instrumentation connections, and imported equipment that calls for British pipe thread specifications. It is appropriate for low-volume field threading operations and bench work where a hand-driven or manual die stock is used.

Installation Notes

Threading operations should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or plumber familiar with hand-threading techniques. Always apply threading oil or cutting fluid to the pipe and die during cutting to extend die life and produce clean thread form. Secure the workpiece firmly in a pipe vise before beginning. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting edges are damaged.
