This part is part of my rv water hookup. It's about 1/2" in diameter and if you can't tell from the photos, it has six round indentations around the rim where I imagine some specialized tool can grab the indentions and help me thread it in.1000015636.jpg1000015640.jpg
 
The threads are fine, but I need whatever tool that lines up with those round indentations so I can re-install it.
How tight does it have to be and do you care if the surface is damaged? I've got a pair of nylon-jawed pliers that I use on large connectors that would do it. If you don't care about the finish, any old set of pliers would probably work.

The problem is that it needs to sit inside the water hose hookup before it can be tightened as you can see from my third pic. The inly thing i can think of is a spanner or reverse pliers.
 
Don't see a third Pic. What is it for? Check valve on fresh water inlet? Does it thread in to the piece in the second Pic?

Sorry I only had two pics. It was the second one i was referring to. It just drops in there, so no threading, but by the time it is securely tightened, It will set that far recessed into the main hookup housing.

This is what the underside looks like.

I was able to get the threads tight manually and used locktite to help hold it. I was just hoping it would have used a recognizable specialized tool. I appreciate all the assistance from everyone.
 
That does look like an "IPS" pipe thread,the picture you holding if that's the thread you need go to hd/Lowe's go to the brass or gas fittings and see what threads on
