RIDGID National Pipe Straight Mechanical Thread 00-R Die Head

RIDGID National Pipe Straight Mechanical (NPSM) Thread 00-R Die Heads are precision-engineered manual pipe threading accessories designed to produce accurate, consistent external straight pipe threads. Manufactured for professional plumbing, mechanical contracting, industrial maintenance, and pipe fabrication applications, these heavy-duty RIDGID 00-R NPSM die heads deliver dependable cutting performance, excellent durability, and reliable thread quality. Designed for use with compatible RIDGID Model 00-R Manual Ratchet Threaders, these specialized die heads provide efficient threading without requiring electrical power.

RIDGID 00-R NPSM Straight Pipe Threading Performance

RIDGID 00-R NPSM die heads produce straight, parallel external pipe threads conforming to applicable ASME B1.20.1 specifications. Unlike National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads, which feature a 1:16 taper, NPSM threads maintain a constant diameter throughout their threaded length.

NPSM threads feature a 60-degree thread angle and are designed primarily for mechanical connections rather than pressure-tight sealing through thread interference.

RIDGID 00-R NPSM Die Head Features and Specifications

• Thread Standard: National Pipe Straight Mechanical (NPSM), ASME B1.20.1.

• Thread Direction: Right Hand (RH), depending on die configuration.

• Thread Profile: 60-degree angle with parallel threads.

• Die Head Design: Heavy-duty exposed manual ratchet threading.

• Threader Compatibility: RIDGID Model 00-R Manual Ratchet Threader.

• Cutting Dies: Replaceable cutting dies matched to the specified thread size.

• Available Sizes: Selected nominal pipe diameters and corresponding threads per inch (TPI).

• Manual Operation: Requires no batteries or electrical power.

RIDGID NPSM Die Head Applications

RIDGID 00-R NPSM die heads are suitable for industrial machinery, mechanical pipe assemblies, equipment maintenance, and pipe fabrication applications requiring straight-thread connections. NPSM connections generally require a separate sealing method, such as a gasket or O-ring, when pressure-tight performance is necessary.
