I'm looking for a threading die for garden hose fittings. I think this might be 5/8"x14 NPT. All the standard tap and die sets skip over this size. Doesn't have to be particularly good quality, carbon steel would be okay, just want to chase threads on an old faucet that has developed mineral deposits to the point that I can't get a hose to screw on anymore. The faucet is otherwise in good working order, and I hate to have to replace it just because it needs cleaned up a bit. The folks who make these parts have to have taps and dies, right? So what are they using and where do they get it?
