Product Details

WESTport Hexagon Pipe Dies are precision-manufactured threading tools designed to produce, restore, and repair external pipe threads with exceptional accuracy and consistency. Their six-sided design allows them to be used with standard die stocks, adjustable wrenches, and other common holding tools, making them an excellent solution for field service, maintenance operations, repair work, and light production environments. Whether you're restoring damaged threads or producing new external pipe threads, WESTport Hexagon Pipe Dies provide dependable performance and long service life.

Hexagon Pipe Dies are commonly used for National Pipe Thread (NPT) applications and other standard pipe thread forms where precise thread engagement and leak-resistant connections are critical. WESTport manufactures these dies from premium tool steel that delivers excellent wear resistance while maintaining accurate cutting geometry throughout extended use. Precision machining and inspection ensure that every die produces clean, consistent threads that meet demanding industrial requirements.

The compact hexagonal design offers several advantages over conventional round dies. Because the die can be driven with standard hand tools, it is especially useful for maintenance personnel, pipefitters, plumbers, industrial mechanics, and field service technicians working in confined spaces or on installed piping systems. The design also makes the die easy to carry, quick to position, and convenient to use where traditional die stocks may not fit.

WESTport Hexagon Pipe Dies are widely used throughout manufacturing, oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, HVAC, hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, construction, and general industrial maintenance. They are ideal for chasing damaged pipe threads, restoring corroded threads, preparing replacement pipe sections, and performing routine repair work on threaded pipe assemblies.

Since 1989, WESTport has supplied manufacturers and maintenance professionals with precision thread gages, custom taps and dies, hardness testing equipment, metrology products, and ISO/IEC 17025 calibration services. Every threading product we supply is backed by our commitment to quality, technical expertise, and responsive customer service, helping customers maintain productivity while producing dependable threaded connections.
