Die Head Set-Up and Use
The 1215 Threading Machine can be used with a vari-
ety of RIDGID Die Heads to cut pipe and bolt threads.
Information is included here for Quick-Opening Die
Heads. See the RIDGID catalog for other available die
heads.
Die Heads require one set of dies for each of the follow-
ing pipe size ranges: (1/4
"
(1" through 2"). NPT/NPSM dies must be used in NPT
Die Heads and BSPT/BSPP dies must be used n BSPT
Die Heads – The size bar is marked for each.
Die heads using Mono or Bolt dies require a dedicated
set of dies for each specific thread size.
See the RIDGID catalog for dies available for your die
head.
Always cut a test thread to confirm proper thread size
after changing/adjusting the dies.
Removing/Installing Die Head

When fully inserted, the Die Head will be held in place.
When it is installed, the Die Head can be pivoted on post
to align it with pipe or it can be swung up and out of the
way to allow use of cutter or reamer.
