The male ends of many of my garden hoses have become somewhat chewed
up and I want to re-thread them properly. I have looked in my Mc

is no listing for the proper die .. either re-threading or primary. I
am sure that it is there under the proper size & pitch but I do not
know what that might be. Any and all help would be appreciated.

The garden hose thread is considered a separate thread from pipe
thread, however, 1/2 inch pipe (or is it 3/4? can't remember for sure
right now and don't have one with me to look at) has the same thread
count and diameter is close enough. OTOH, the thread itself is
coarse enough that it isn't hard to do with a 3 corner file.
