Description

BHS-0 – BSPT THREADING DIES , SIZE (1/4″-3/8″) HSS, Can Also Use For*Ridgid Threading Machine.

MacStroc BHS-0 – BSPT Threading Dies (¼″–⅜″), High-Speed RH – Ideal for Ridgid Applications

The MacStroc BHS-0 BSPT Threading Dies are a high-performance, right-hand (RH) die set meticulously crafted for cutting BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) threads on pipes sized between ¼″ and ⅜″. Manufactured with high-speed steel (HSS), they offer superior durability, precise threading, and extended service life, even under demanding jobsite conditions.

Key Features:

• Precision Construction: Each die is accurately machined to maintain tight thread tolerances and ensure seamless engagement.

• High-Speed Steel (HSS): Designed to withstand heat and abrasion, making them ideal for prolonged use and for penetrating tough materials.

• Right-Hand Threading: Compatible with standard right-hand threading equipment, ensuring ease of use.

• Versatile Compatibility: Engineered to work with Ridgid universal die heads and die sets, enhancing tool interoperability and convenience.

What Is Pipe Threading & Dies?

Pipe Threading refers to the process of creating helical (spiral) grooves—threads—on the external surface of a pipe so that it can be connected securely to fittings or other pipe sections. Dies are the tools that cut these threads; they are components, usually made of hardened steel, that clamp around the pipe and carve the required thread profile as the pipe is rotated or the die is advanced.

In the context of BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper), the threads are tapered—wider at one end than the other—to ensure a tight, leak-resistant seal when joined. This differs from parallel threads (BSPP), which maintain constant diameter throughout. BSPT threads are especially common in many plumbing and industrial piping systems worldwide.

The process typically involves:

1. Securing the die in a compatible die head or threading tool.

2. Applying cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tool life.

3. Aligning and engaging the die with the pipe end.

4. Rotating or advancing the die onto the pipe to cut the threads.

5. Retracting the die and cleaning the newly formed threads.

Threading dies like the BHS-0 are available as solid or segmented discs (or chasers for thread maintenance). They are often used in conjunction with die heads or pipe threading machines to ensure precise, repeatable threading outcomes.

Why Choose the BHS-0?

• High-Speed Performance: HSS composition handles faster cutting speeds while resisting wear.

• Accurate Fit: Tailored for BSPT ¼″–⅜″ standards—provides proper taper and thread pitch for reliable connections.

• Ridgid Compatibility: Easily integrates into a popular, widely-used threading system.

• Compact Size: Great for tight or smaller-diameter piping work where precision is key.
