FEATURES:
- 1/16" x 27 NPT Intermediate HSS Tap - Goliath
- HSS Bright Finish NPT Hand and Machine Intermediate Tap
- Pipe taps are much shorter than a similar size of regular hand tap, but the design features are the same
- Goliath HSS taps provide a high hardness to toughness ratio, compressive and tensile strength, good abrasion resistance and resistance to micro-chipping, ensuring a long tool life
- Tapered Pipe Taps are used for tapered threading by hand or machine
- National Pipe Tapered (NPT) is a US standard for tapered threads used to join pipes and fittings.
- The taper on NPT threads allows them to form a seal when torqued as the flanks of the threads compress against each other
- However a clearance remains between the crests and roots of the threads, resulting in a leakage around this spiral
- This means that NPT fittings must be made leak free with the aid of thread seal tape or a thread sealant compound
- For each 12"increase in distance from the end, the diameter increases by 3/4"
- Intermediate Taps have a lead of four threads and are used in most general purpose applications to cut a thread true to a pre-drilled pilot hole
- Manufactured from HSS this general purpose tap is designed for use in medium tensile materials and is for hand or general machine use
