Description

Ridgid 70835 Nu-Clear Threading Oil, 1-Gallon

Precision Cooling for Perfect, Leak-Free Threads

RIDGID 70835 Nu-Clear Threading Oil is the industry standard for professionals who demand superior thread quality and maximum tool life. Formulated as a high-performance mineral oil, Nu-Clear is specifically engineered to reduce friction and dissipate heat at the cutting edge. By keeping the dies cool and the metal chips flowing freely, it ensures clean, sharp, and perfectly tapered NPT threads every time.

Unlike "dark" oils that can stain or be difficult to clean, the Nu-Clear formula is ideal for applications where aesthetics matter, such as exposed plumbing or gas lines. It contains no chlorine or other halogens, making it safer for the user and the environment. Whether you are using a manual ratchet threader or a high-speed power drive, RIDGID Nu-Clear is the essential partner for your threading equipment.

Why Pros Trust RIDGID Nu-Clear Threading Oil:

  • Extends Die Life: Significantly reduces heat and wear, allowing your expensive threading dies to stay sharp for hundreds of additional cuts.
  • Superior Thread Quality: Prevents "tearing" or "galling" of the metal, resulting in smoother threads that ensure a leak-proof seal.
  • Low-Odor Formula: Designed with the operator in mind, providing a more pleasant working environment in confined spaces compared to traditional sulfur-based oils.
  • Easy Clean-Up: The clear formula is less likely to leave heavy stains on work surfaces or clothing and wipes clean from the finished pipe easily.
  • Year-Round Performance: Formulated to maintain its viscosity and flow even in cold-weather jobsite conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What is the difference between Nu-Clear and Dark threading oil?
Nu-Clear (70835) is a clear mineral oil best for general threading where clean-up and low odor are priorities. Dark Oil typically contains more sulfur and is often preferred for high-speed machine threading on larger diameter pipes where maximum cooling is required.
+ Is this oil safe for use with potable water lines?
While Nu-Clear oil is used to thread pipes for potable water, the oil itself is not food-grade. You must thoroughly flush and clean the inside of the threaded pipe to remove all oil residue before connecting it to a drinking water system.
+ Can I use this in my RIDGID 300 or 535 threading machine?
Absolutely. Nu-Clear is fully compatible with all RIDGID power threading machines. It is designed to work perfectly with the integrated oil pumps to provide a continuous flow over the dies.
+ Does this oil expire?
RIDGID threading oil does not have a formal expiration date. However, for the best results, it should be stored in a sealed container away from extreme temperatures to prevent contamination from moisture or dust.
