Professional Pipe Threading
The Wheeler-Rex 60212 threading die cuts right-hand NPT threads on 1 inch pipe using four alloy-steel dies at 11 1/2 threads per inch. It is built for plumbers and pipefitters who need reliable thread cutting on job sites or in fabrication shops. The spring-steel construction resists wear during repeated use.
Replaces Worn Die Sets
This die set replaces a damaged or dull set in a compatible threading machine when thread quality degrades or cutting becomes difficult. The upgrade is worth it when existing dies produce loose joints, require excessive force, or show visible chipping on the cutting edges. It restores clean, standard-compliant threads without changing the machine.
Machine Installation Only
Installation requires a threading machine that accepts Grainger part 60131 or manufacturer part 70131 die heads; it cannot be used with hand-operated ratchet threaders. The most common issue is forcing the die head onto an incompatible machine, which damages the drive mechanism. Verify the die head part number before mounting to avoid misalignment and premature wear.

Questions about this item
Will this die fit my 70131 die head?
Yes — the die is listed as compatible with die-head part number 70131.
What is the correct way to load the four dies into the head?
Insert each die into its matching slot so the cutting edges face the pipe rotation direction, then tighten the head clamps evenly; the step most often missed is checking that all four dies are seated flat before the first cut.
When should I replace the alloy-steel dies?
Replace the set when threads show torn or shallow peaks, typically after several hundred 1-inch NPT cuts; the four-die set wears evenly, so change all four at once.
