Value Collection 367-0562 Hex Rethreading Die 7/8-14 Hss Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 367-0562 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for repeated use on fasteners, fittings, and threaded rod. This die cuts a 7/8-14 UNF (Unified National Fine) right-hand thread profile, making it the correct choice when chasing fine-pitch threads on hydraulic fittings, automotive components, or precision mechanical assemblies. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, machinists, and general maintenance professionals reach for this tool when damaged male threads need to be restored without full part replacement.

This rethreading die is suited for field service and shop use wherever 7/8-14 UNF right-hand external threads appear. Typical applications include restoring threads on hydraulic line fittings, threaded shafts, and machine bolts found in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. The hex body format allows a standard wrench or die stock to drive the tool in confined spaces or open bench setups. It is a single-piece consumable kept in service vans and maintenance toolboxes for on-the-spot thread repair.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability and resistance to wear during repeated thread chasing
• 7/8-14 UNF thread size covers fine-pitch applications on hydraulic fittings and precision shafts
• Right-hand thread direction matches the standard orientation for the vast majority of mechanical fasteners
• Hex body design accepts a standard wrench or die stock for controlled torque application
• Restores damaged external threads without requiring full component replacement

Compatibility

Designed for use on any external 7/8-14 UNF right-hand threaded fastener or fitting where thread restoration is required. No specific OEM model compatibility data was provided for this part.

Installation Notes

Thread rethreading dies are typically used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals familiar with thread repair procedures. Before chasing threads on a fitting or component that is part of a pressurized system, depressurize and isolate the system completely. Apply cutting oil to the die and the work piece to reduce heat and extend tool life. Drive the die slowly with a die stock or wrench, backing off periodically to clear chips and prevent binding.
