RIDGID 141 Receding Geared Threader (Model 36620) for 2-1/2" to 4" Pipe, NPT

Threading 2-1/2" to 4" pipe is a job for the right tool, and the RIDGID 141 NPT Receding Geared Threader (Catalog Number 36620) is exactly that. This heavy-duty threader is engineered for professional plumbers, sprinkler fitters, and mechanical contractors who need clean, accurate threads on steel pipe day after day. Its receding die design allows you to cut both tapered and straight threads, giving you the flexibility for a wide range of installations.

RIDGID 141 Receding Geared Threader: Precision and Safety

The RIDGID 141 features a cam-type workholder system that speeds up setup. The cams clamp the pipe securely and quickly, so you spend less time preparing and more time threading. The built-in jaw clutch prevents the dies from jamming at the end of the thread, and it lets the die head disengage smoothly to avoid damaging both the tool and the workpieces.

Built-In Jaw Clutch Adjustment for Smooth Operation

The jaw clutch is a critical safety and operational component. It is designed to slip at the correct cut point, preventing the tool from kicking or binding. For those asking about RIDGID 141 jaw clutch adjustment, the clutch is preset at the factory, but it can be adjusted if necessary by following the manual. Proper adjustment ensures that the threader disengages reliably every time. This prevents over-torquing and keeps the threading process safe.

Fully Enclosed Gearing for Operator Safety

Open gears are a hazard. The RIDGID 141 has fully enclosed gearing that protects both the operator and the gearbox from debris. The housing keeps grease in and contamination out, extending the life of the mechanism and making workspace cleanup easier.

Includes High-Speed Dies for 2-1/2" to 4" Pipe

This unit is equipped with high-speed steel dies for 2-1/2", 3", 3-1/2", and 4" NPT pipe. The dies are precision-ground for sharp, consistent threads that meet the demands of heavy-duty plumbing and mechanical systems. The receding action supports both tapered and straight threads, giving you the versatility to thread nipples and long runs without changing tools.

When you need a reliable receding threader for large steel pipe, the RIDGID 141 (36620) is a proven choice. Its robust construction, safety features, and RIDGID quality make it a cornerstone in any professional pipe-threading setup.
