Value Collection 365-3740 Hex Pipe Die 5/8-14 Bspt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-3740 is a hex pipe die designed for cutting 5/8-14 BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) external threads on pipe stock. Built from carbon steel, this die delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for clean thread cutting in pipe fabrication and plumbing applications. The 1-5/8 inch hex body seats securely in a standard die stock or wrench, providing positive torque transfer during cutting. Right-hand thread direction follows standard practice for BSPT pipe fittings. Machinists, pipefitters, and plumbers reach for this type of die when field-threading pipe or repairing damaged threads on existing installations.

This die is suited for threading pipe in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas piping, and mechanical systems where BSPT connections are specified. BSPT is common in international and import equipment, as well as certain industrial fluid and pneumatic systems. It is used with a compatible die stock sized for a 1-5/8 inch hex die. Sold individually as a single-piece unit.
