🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between cutting a pipe and cutting threads on a pipe • Common names of hand tools used to make external threads on round stock or pipe • How a die is used together with another tool to form a complete threading tool

💭 Think About

• Which of these choices actually forms (cuts) the spiral grooves of a thread, rather than just cutting the pipe off? • Think about what a die does and what additional part is needed to hold, guide, and turn it around the pipe. • In plumbing shops, when you need to put threads on the end of a black iron pipe for a fitting, what complete tool assembly do you ask for?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option specifically refers to a tool for cutting external threads, not simply cutting pipe to length. • Check which term is commonly used in pipefitting for a hand-operated threading tool that holds a die. • Make sure the correct choice includes the part that holds and turns the die as well as the die itself.
