Value Collection 367-0361 Hex Rethreading Die 9/16-12 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 367-0361 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Made from high-speed steel, this die delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed to clean up threads on fasteners, bolts, and fittings without cutting new material away unnecessarily. It is sized for 9/16-12 thread, following the Unified National Coarse standard with a right-hand thread direction. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals use rethreading dies as a fast, reliable method to salvage threaded components in the field or shop.

This die is suited for rethreading applications on bolts, studs, and threaded rod commonly found in HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical systems. The hex body style allows for standard wrench engagement, making it practical for use in tight spaces where a full die stock may not fit. It is appropriate for both shop bench work and field service calls where restoring a fastener thread is faster than sourcing a replacement part.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for hardness and long service life across repeated use
• 9/16-12 thread size following the UNC standard for broad fastener compatibility
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener restoration
• Hex body profile accepts standard wrenches for controlled torque application
• Rethreading geometry cleans and restores existing threads rather than cutting new ones

Compatibility

Designed as a rethreading die for 9/16-12 UNC right-hand external threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod across general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical applications.

Installation Notes

This die is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a standard wrench sized to the hex body. Before use, clean loose rust, debris, or burrs from the damaged thread with a wire brush to reduce die wear and improve thread restoration quality. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece before starting to reduce friction and heat buildup. Work slowly in short forward and reverse strokes to clear material and prevent die damage.
