RATCHET 1 BSPT DIE HEAD ridgid

The RIDGID 1″ BSPT Ratchet Die Head is a professional-grade threading tool designed for efficiency, durability, and precision in demanding environments. Engineered specifically for cutting 1-inch British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT) threads, this die head is the trusted choice for plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance professionals working with international pipe standards.

Its robust ratchet mechanism allows for fast, powerful threading in tight spaces where a full-turn wrench swing is impossible. Built to the legendary RIDGID standard of quality, this tool ensures clean, accurate, and reliable threads every time, helping you complete jobs faster and with superior results.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Precision BSPT Threading: Cuts perfect 1″ BSPT (R) threads conforming to ISO 7-1 standards. The tapered thread design ensures a pressure-tight seal, essential for hydraulic, pneumatic, and liquid/gas pipe systems.

• Heavy-Duty Ratchet Mechanism: Features a quick-acting ratchet drive for fast, efficient threading in confined areas. The reversible pawl allows you to easily back the die head off the workpiece without removing the tool.

• Rugged, Long-Lasting Construction: Forged from high-strength alloy steel and heat-treated for maximum toughness, this die head is built to withstand the rigors of daily professional use without cracking or deforming.

• Compatible with RIDGID Geared Threaders: Designed to work seamlessly with RIDGID 141 and 161 series Geared Threaders (using appropriate adapters), providing a complete, powerful threading system for high-volume work.

• Easy Die Insert Replacement: Uses standard, replaceable 1″ BSPT die inserts (RIDGID No. 29393). When the cutting edges wear out, you only need to replace the insert, not the entire die head, saving time and money on tool maintenance.

• Clear, Quick-Set Markings: Features easy-to-read size and thread pitch markings, along with alignment arrows for fast and foolproof setup, reducing errors on the job site.
