1/2" x 14 BSPT HSS Die Nut - Goliath

About this item:

• 1/2" x 14 BSPT HSS Die Nut - Goliath
• Hexagonal HSS Die Nut for External Threads
• High Speed Steel (HSS) Die Nuts
• Goliath solid High Speed Steel (HSS) Die Nuts are used for cutting of new male threads as well as extending / cleaning / resizing of existing threads where a button die is not suited due to work space restrictions and / or on site thread accessibility.
• HSS Die Nuts have a vastly longer tool life than Carbon dies as well as superior thread accuracy.
• British Standard Pipe Taper (RC Series Pipe Taper) is based on the Whitworth thread form - a symmetrical V-thread with an angle of 55º.
• BSPT has been widely adopted internationally for interconnecting and sealing pipe ends by mating an external (male) with an internal (female) thread.
• The thread diameter increases along the length of the thread allowing the coupled pipes to form a seal when torqued as the flanks of the threads compress against each other.
• The taper is "1 to 16", meaning that for each 16 mm increase in the distance from the end, the diameter increases by 1 mm.
