So I have the opportunity to pick up a rigid pipe threader set (00-R) with 5 dies for $70 and had a couple (possibly stupid) questions before I pull the trigger:
What size od pipe would I need to hard plump my system with 1/2" stainless and what would the minimum wall thickness be (ie. what is the thread depth for 1/2npt), and can I use stainless tubing as well, or does it have to be pipe? Second, can anyone think of any other applications besides hard plumbing to justify the purchase of the threader (besides it just being a tool i would like to have ). And out of curiosity, what are the required pipe dimenstions to tap 1/2" female threads? Thanks much!
