RIDGID 36475 Model 12-R Exposed Ratchet Pipe Threader: Built for Professional Threading
The RIDGID 36475 (Model 12-R) is a complete manual exposed ratchet pipe threading set that handles 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2" NPT pipe and conduit. It includes six individual die heads, a ratchet assembly, a ratchet handle, alloy dies, and a rugged carrying case with labeled compartments. Trusted by plumbers and pipefitters, this set is designed to make clean, accurate threads in the field or on the job site.
Complete 1/2" to 2" Coverage
Each pipe size uses its own die head, so you don't need to change dies inside a single head. Just pick the correct head, slide it into the ratchet, and start turning. The ductile cast iron die heads fit the ratchet without any extra parts, keeping setup quick and foolproof.
RIDGID 36475 Replacement Dies and How to Change Them
Over time, cutting threads on steel pipe wears the dies. The alloy dies in this set are replaceable, and you can find RIDGID replacement dies for each NPT size—1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2". To replace a die in the RIDGID 36475, open the die head by retracting the die retainers, remove the worn die segments, insert the new RIDGID alloy dies in the correct orientation, and close the retainers securely. Always confirm the dies are seated evenly before threading.
Manual Exposed Ratchet Control
The exposed ratchet mechanism lets you see exactly what's engaging as you work. It's a simple, durable design that gives you solid control whether you're threading a new pipe or re-threading an existing line. The ratchet handle is sized to give you the leverage needed for 2" pipe, while still working comfortably in tight locations.
Built to Last and Easy to Transport
Ductile cast iron die heads and alloy steel dies are made for heavy, repeated use. The rugged carrying case keeps every component organized and protected, with labeled compartments so you can find the right die head at a glance.
