Rothenberger Die Heads, BSPT R 1.1/2' - 070869X

Rothenberger BSPT R 1.1/2 Threading Dies - Code 070869X

The Rothenberger BSPT R 1.1/2 threading dies (article code 070869X) are an essential component for professionals who need to create precise and reliable threads on pipes. These dies are specifically designed for the BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) threading system, a standard widely used in plumbing and industrial applications. The R 1.1/2 size corresponds to a nominal diameter of approximately 48.3 mm, a dimension commonly used in medium flow installations.

Made from high-strength special steel, these dies guarantee superior durability even under intensive use. The heat treatment they undergo ensures optimal hardness of the cutting teeth, allowing them to maintain threading precision even after numerous uses. The tooth geometry is designed to reduce effort during the threading operation, allowing for a smooth and precise cut.

Technical Specifications

The Rothenberger 070869X dies are compatible with Rothenberger threading machines, including Super Cut, Supertronic models, and other professional threading machines from the brand. Their modular construction allows for quick replacement when different thread sizes need to be made, optimizing work time on site.

• Thread type: BSPT (tapered) R 1.1/2
• Material: Special alloy steel with heat treatment
• Compatibility: Rothenberger threading systems
• Precision: Conforms to international standards for threading
• Thread angle: 55°, specific for BSPT standard
• Thread pitch: 11 threads per inch

Practical Applications

These dies are used in various professional sectors where precise threading on metal pipes is required. They are particularly suitable for:

• Installation of industrial and civil plumbing systems
• Construction of gas distribution networks
• Maintenance of fire extinguishing systems
• Installation of heating systems
• Construction of hydraulic structures in the naval sector
• Maintenance of oil and petrochemical plants

Operational Advantages

The use of Rothenberger 070869X dies offers numerous benefits to professional operators:

• Increased execution speed thanks to optimized tooth geometry
• Reduced physical effort during the threading operation
• Less wear on the threading machine due to uniform force distribution
• Precise threads that guarantee perfect hydraulic sealing
• Long operational life thanks to high-quality materials
• Ease of replacement and maintenance

Maintenance and Care

To maintain the efficiency of the dies over time, it is advisable to clean them thoroughly after each use, removing metal residue and lubricant. It is important to always use specific cutting oil during threading operations to reduce friction and overheating. Store the dies in a dry and protected environment to prevent oxidation that could compromise cutting precision. In case of tooth wear, the dies can be replaced while maintaining the quality of the work.

The Rothenberger 070869X dies represent the ideal choice for professionals who do not compromise on thread quality and seek reliable tools for their daily activities. Their precision and durability result in perfectly sealed joints, reducing the risk of leaks and the need for subsequent corrective interventions after installation.
