Steps On Doing The Pipes Die Threading

By Larry Wilson


Threading, in manufacturing, is referred to the process on the creation of screw thread. There are a lot methods being used in generating the threads and these would include subtractive, transformative or deformative, additive, or a combination of all these methods. The threading dies which are being used for the production of high volume threaded components are called the die heads.

For most procedures that are done in homes, this process will be used since threading pipes is considered as a primary procedure where updates and rapairs are necessary. The evolvement of machines used in die threading Chicago IL has been arising. Nowadays, there are many portable types that are made available in marketplaces having relatively expensive prices. However, many people still prefer to have these to be used in plumbing.

Purchasing or renting from an equipment retailer in Chicago IL a manual machine for use in threading process. First thing to do is attaching the die head before the thread is cut. After the attachment, the machine will now have the ability to thread pipes having various material types and these would include the different plastic or resin types.

Doing an inspection or checking of a threader might be very necessary before beginning and replacing dies to make sure that there are no worn out parts. Damaged parts usually are found on the rented machine. Brand new ones may have some damages but is very seldom to happen and this is why inspecting the new ones is not necessary. Dies that are worn out and damaged may lead to a thread with poor quality.

The pipe must be mounted firmly to vise by putting it to a vise. Make sure to tighten it when placing. Cleanly and squarely cut the ends of pipes with the use of a pipe cutter. An industrial threader may be used for cutting if you have it. This machine is used to cut the pipes length. Cutters may either be provided with a guide or without a guide. The guides can provide square alignments. The use of guides are suggested rather than just having cut estimations.

The cutters also have thin cutter wheels that are going to slice through pipes while guiding it into the space. Be sure to wear some protective gear such as goggles when doing this process. Steel may possibly produce some sparks. Ream a pipe end that is cut for removing the burrs from. A reamer will be used in this process. This is a rotary cutting tool in cylinder shape.

Make sure to use a die head that would fit to the pipe type and size and thread form. There are many different sizes and shapes of die heads and these would include the different threads used for pipes having different diameters. Put a die head above the pipe which on top of the threader. Press steadily the die heads front then simultaneously push down the handle so the threader will be started.

The leverage would be your weight when applying some pressure into the handle. Always remember to maintain a proper footing and proper balance to have maximum control. Using other mechanisms and tools when holding a handle should be avoided to prevent danger and serious injuries.

In this process, apply some threading oil. Reverse the ratchet mechanism and turn into its opposite direction the die head. After performing all these processes, clean the pipe. Get the connector and attach it.
