Where can I purchase a die for a Garden Hose Thread (GHT)? I need one
to re-thread  hoses and hose bibs.

Greetings Sheph7:

I was unable to locate a rethreader for a garden hose but I did locate
couplings, clamps, connectors and fittings to use in the repair of
garden hoses.

A tutorial for repairing a garden hose from
http://www.etera.com/school/TutorialCreator/view/tutorialdefault.asp?CategoryID=31&RootID=31
(under "Tools and Maintenance Equipment" see "Repairing a garden hose"
for instructions.  There is no mention of a threading die.)


Clamps, fittings, couplings and/or connectors used in the repair of
garden hoses may be viewed at:

I hope that another Researcher will be able to locate the die for you
but, if not, the above repair choices should fit your needs.

SEARCH STRATEGY:

You probably already know this, but a hose fitting will screw on a 3/4
inch NPT pipe thread. Dies for pipe threads are readily available.

Thanks, but in this case I truly need a die to chase the threads.

yes, while a 3/4" NPT will screw onto a hose it is not a proper "fit"
and relies on the taper of the pipe thread to seal.
