Rothenberger Die Set, BSPT R, 2", 4 pc - 070870X

BSPT R 2 comb set for professional threading

The Rothenberger Serie BSPT R, 2 comb set, 4 pieces (item code 070870X) represents a professional solution for creating precise and durable threads. This kit is specifically designed for 2-inch BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) tapered threads, the standard widely used in plumbing systems and industrial applications in Europe and many Commonwealth countries.

Technical features of the set

This set includes 4 high-quality combs made of special hardened steel, ensuring wear resistance and long life even with intensive use. The combs are designed to create 2-inch BSPT R tapered threads with a 55° angle, conforming to international standards. The precision of manufacturing ensures clean and accurate threads, essential for perfectly sealed joints in plumbing and gas systems.

Compatibility and use

The 070870X series combs are compatible with standard 2-inch Rothenberger dies and can be used with various handles and supports from the Rothenberger range. They are ideal for threading steel pipes, stainless steel (with appropriate cutting lubricant), and other metallic materials commonly used in plumbing, heating, and industrial systems. Their structure is optimized to reduce effort during the threading operation, allowing even a single operator to complete the work efficiently.

Practical advantages

Using professional quality combs such as those in the Rothenberger 070870X series offers numerous advantages:

• Greater precision in threading, ensuring optimal hydraulic sealing
• Reduced processing times thanks to efficient and precise cutting
• Less physical effort required during the threading operation
• Superior durability compared to standard combs, resulting in long-term cost savings
• Threads conforming to international standards, ensuring compatibility with commercial fittings and components

Main applications

These combs are used in numerous professional sectors:

• Installation and maintenance of residential and commercial plumbing systems
• Creation of heating and air conditioning systems
• Industrial installation of piping for fluids and gases
• Shipbuilding and offshore
• Maintenance of oil and gas plants
• Mechanical engineering requiring precise large-diameter threads

Maintenance and storage

To keep the combs in optimal condition and prolong their lifespan, it is advisable to clean them thoroughly after each use, removing metallic residues and lubricant. It is important to store them in a dry environment, preferably in their original packaging or in a container that protects them from impacts and humidity. Periodic application of a thin layer of protective oil prevents rust formation and keeps the cutting edges in perfect efficiency.

Tips for optimal use

To obtain the best results with the Rothenberger 070870X combs, it is essential to always use a quality cutting lubricant suitable for the material to be threaded. Proper lubrication not only improves thread quality but also significantly extends the life of the combs. It is also important to maintain a moderate and constant rotation speed during the threading operation, avoiding forcing that could damage the cutting edges or compromise the precision of the work.
