1422-0114 - Victor 15/16-18 UNS Re-Threading Die Tool

Precision Maintenance Tool for Victor Equipment

The Victor 1422-0114 15/16-18 UNS Die is a specialized hand tool designed for the maintenance and repair of industrial gas equipment. Manufactured to Victor's exacting standards, this die is engineered to cut or chase threads with a specific 15/16-18 UNS (Unified Special) profile. In the field of oxy-fuel welding and cutting, maintaining the integrity of threaded connections is paramount for safety and performance. Over time, fittings on regulators, torches, and hoses can become damaged, cross-threaded, or corroded. This die serves as a critical service tool, allowing technicians to restore these threads to their original specifications without compromising the equipment's seal or structural integrity.

Constructed from high-grade tool steel, the die offers excellent durability and wear resistance, ensuring it remains sharp and effective through repeated use in a maintenance shop environment. It is specifically intended for use on Victor-brand apparatus where this non-standard thread pitch is utilized. By enabling the repair of threads rather than the replacement of entire brass bodies or expensive components, the 1422-0114 provides a significant return on investment for repair centers and heavy-duty welding operations. It is an essential addition to any MRO toolkit focused on gas apparatus lifecycle management.

Proper application of this tool ensures that fittings engage smoothly and securely, preventing gas leaks and ensuring compliance with safety standards. Whether used for cleaning up minor dings in the thread path or re-establishing a crossed thread, this die delivers the precision required for high-pressure gas equipment.
