Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Select the appropriate threading die size (1/2", 3/4", or 1") for your pipe.
- Insert the die into the ratchet wrench bracket, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.
- Position the tool squarely over the end of the pipe.
- Apply steady pressure while rotating the handle to start the threading process.
Compatibility
This kit is compatible with common pipe materials including galvanized steel, iron, aluminum, and copper. It is not designed for threading hardened steel or plastic pipes.
Maintenance & Care
- Lubrication: Apply a high-quality cutting oil liberally to the die and pipe end before and during the threading process to prevent overheating and premature wear.
- Cleaning: Always wipe metal shavings off the die teeth after every use using a wire brush.
- Storage: Store all components in the included case to prevent moisture buildup, which can cause rust on the iron components.
