4 pc Ratcheting Pipe Threader Set
ASSEMBLE
1. Determine the size of the pipe to be threaded.
2. Pick the appropriate die to be used. Die sizes are stamped on the outside of each die.
3. Insert the die into the Ratchet Holder. It is a force fitting, and once the die is in the
Ratchet Holder, it may require light tapping with a wooden mallet to remove the die.
4. Have an oil can available to be used during the threading operation.
5. The pipe to be threaded must be properly secured during the threading operation.
6. To reverse the threading direction, pull out the reversing knob, turn it 180 degrees
until the arrow points in the opposite direction and drop it back into place.
OPERATION
CAUTION: Make sure the pipe end and threads of the die are sufficiently oiled at all times.
Otherwise, die life will be shortened and the threads will be rough.
Now that the proper die is installed, you are ready to attach the
Ratchet Holder to the pipe, and begin cutting threads.
1. Place the rear of the die over the end of the pipe to
be threaded. Verify that the inside diameter of the die
matches the outside diameter of the pipe.
2. Make sure that the pipe to be threaded is properly held
in place.
3. While applying pressure to the end of the pipe, begin
rotating the Handle around the pipe to engage the die to
the pipe end. Continue this operation until the desired
thread length is achieved.
4. To disengage the Ratchet Holder after threading is complete, follow steps discussed in
step 6 of Assemble to reverse the direction, and then rotate the Connecting Rod until
the die is disengaged from the pipe end.
5. When sliding the pipe out of the Ratchet Holder, be careful not to damage newly
cut threads.
MAINTENANCE
1. Clean the Pipe Threading tool after each use. Clean dies after each use. Check for
broken teeth or pipe material between teeth.
2. When not in use, store all parts in the case, and store the case in a dry location.
