Made from high-speed steel, this die handles the friction and heat generated during thread restoration without premature wear. It cuts a 1\/4-20 UNC right-hand thread profile, which is one of the most common inch-series fastener standards in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. Technicians reach for rethreading dies when bolt threads are galled, rusted, or cross-threaded and full replacement is not practical. The hex body accepts a standard wrench for controlled torque application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die is suited for job-site repair and shop maintenance work across a wide range of trades. Anywhere a 1\/4-20 UNC fastener is used, this tool can clean and restore the thread form without requiring complete disassembly or part replacement. Common applications include restoring threads on equipment housing bolts, access panel fasteners, and mechanical components encountered in HVAC, refrigeration, and general mechanical service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC thread size covers one of the most widely used inch-series fastener standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction resists heat and wear during thread restoration cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex body profile accepts a standard wrench or die stock for controlled application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRethreading geometry cleans and reforms existing threads rather than cutting new stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on external 1\/4-20 UNC right-hand threaded fasteners and components.

Before rethreading, de-energize any equipment and relieve system pressure per standard lockout\/tagout procedures. Apply cutting oil to the die before engaging the threads to reduce friction and extend tool life. Do not force the die onto severely deformed threads — straighten or file the thread lead-in first to avoid die damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 367-0161\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51703715463474,"sku":"367-0161","price":32.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/62857d189fd7f73f5159159edc676a17.jpg?v=1788418198","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-367-0161-hex-rethreading-die-1-4-20-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
