The Ridgid 12R 3/4″ Die Head is a professional-grade, manually operated pipe threading head designed to cut NPT (National Pipe Tapered) threads on 3/4-inch steel, black, galvanized, or gas pipe. This die head is part of the Ridgid 12R threading system and fits the Ridgid 12-R ratchet handle, allowing for field threading without the need for a power drive. It includes replaceable alloy steel dies that are precision-ground to deliver consistent, leak-tight threads.
Constructed from ductile cast iron, the die head is durable enough for frequent job site use and is a staple in plumbing, gas fitting, and mechanical contracting industries. This model is fully rebuildable and supports die replacement, making it a long-lasting tool in any pipefitter’s kit.
