Value Collection 750013 Hex Rethreading Die 7/16-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 750013 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads to their original specification. Built from carbon steel, this die handles 7/16-20 UNF right-hand threads and fits a 1-inch hex holder or wrench for straightforward hand operation. Rethreading dies like this one are standard shop and field tools for mechanics, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who need to salvage threaded fasteners, fittings, or stems rather than replace entire components. The carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for recutting mild steel, brass, and aluminum external threads encountered in routine trade service work.

This die is suited for use in both shop and field environments where UNF 7/16-20 right-hand threaded fasteners or fittings have become damaged through corrosion, cross-threading, or mechanical wear. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals to clean up threads on bolts, valve stems, and equipment studs. The 1-inch hex drive allows use with a standard wrench or die stock, making it practical for tight access areas.

Key Features

• 7/16-20 UNF thread specification for right-hand external thread restoration
• 1-inch hex outer diameter fits standard wrench or die stock
• Carbon steel construction suitable for mild steel, brass, and aluminum fasteners
• Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener standard
• Compact single-piece design with no additional components required

Compatibility

Designed for use on 7/16-20 UNF right-hand external threads. Fits any standard 1-inch hex die stock or adjustable wrench. Verify thread pitch and direction before use to confirm fitment with the fastener or fitting being serviced.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades. Before rethreading, clean the damaged fastener of debris and apply a cutting oil to reduce die wear and improve thread quality. Always confirm the existing thread is right-hand UNF 7/16-20 before proceeding. Do not force the die over severely deformed or hardened threads, as this can damage the die or the workpiece.
