To open the die head manually (with trigger slide up), at
the end of the thread:
• Tapered Pipe Threads – End of pipe is flush with
the end of the number 1 die.
• Bolt and Straight Threads – Thread the desired
length – watch closely for any interference between
the parts.
Move the throwout lever to the OPEN position, retracting
dies.
Receding Self-Opening Die Heads
The Model 728 and 928 receding self-opening die heads
are used on 1233 threading machine for 2
1 /
2
" and 3" pipe
sizes. A trigger is used to open the die head when the
thread is complete, and is adjustable to change thread
length.

Figure 16 – Inserting Dies
3. Remove dies from die head.
Insert appropriate dies into the die head, numbered
edge up. Numbers on the dies must correspond with
those on the die head slots
(see Figure 16) . The die
slots have a ball detent that engages with the groove
on dies when properly installed. Always change dies
as sets – do not mix dies from different sets.
4. Pull back on adjuster knob and rotate cam plate to
desired size setting.
5. Engage adjuster knob into slot.
Adjusting Thread Size
1. Loosen the adjustment nut for the desired pipe size.
2. When setting for new dies,
start with the adjusting slide
index line aligned with the
size mark on the size bar.
3. If thread size needs to be
adjusted, set the index line
slightly off the mark on the
size bar in the + direction
(larger thread diameter, less
turns of fitting engage ment)
or in the - direction (smaller
thread diameter, more turns
of fitting engagement) as
shown on the size bar.
4. Tighten the adjustment nut.
Adjusting Thread Length
1. Loosen the screw on bottom trigger.
2. For short threads, shift the bottom trigger towards
the machine spindle. For long threads, shift it away
from the spindle (
see Figure 18 – factory settings
shown). Long threads are typically preferred in Far
East and short threads in Europe. Set as desired.
3. Re-tighten the screw.
