We have all been there: you are setting up for a job, you go to screw your acetylene hose onto the regulator, and it just won't bite. Maybe the threads got banged up in the truck, or someone cross-threaded it last time. Before you throw away that expensive regulator or cut the end off your hose, reach for the Victor 1422-0092 9/16-18 UNF (LH) Die. This simple yet essential tool is a lifesaver for any welder who maintains their own oxy-fuel rig.
This die is designed specifically for the Left-Hand threads found on almost all fuel gas connections (the ones with the notch on the nut). Whether you are running acetylene, propane, or propylene, your "B" size fittings (9/16"-18) need to be in perfect condition to prevent dangerous gas leaks. A stripped thread isn't just an annoyance; it's a safety hazard. This tool allows you to clean up ("chase") those threads, removing burrs and straightening out dings so your nuts spin on freely and seat securely.
Compact and durable, this die fits easily into your toolbox or torch kit. It pays for itself the first time you save a torch handle or regulator from the scrap bin. It is made by Victor, the biggest name in gas equipment, so you know the sizing is exact. Don't force a bad connection and risk a leak—fix it right with the proper rethreading tool. It is the cheapest insurance policy you can buy for your oxy-fuel setup.
