Built to the 16 ER insert style, it carries a TiN coating applied via PVD process, which improves surface hardness and extends tool life during threading operations. The inscribed circle measures 0.375 inches and the insert thickness is 0.146 inches. This insert is used by machinists and CNC lathe operators producing pipe-thread connections that must meet NPTF dry-seal standards without additional sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis threading insert is suited for producing external NPTF pipe threads on lathes and turning centers in job shop, production machining, and maintenance environments. The 14 TPI pitch corresponds to common pipe thread sizes in plumbing, hydraulic, and pneumatic fitting applications. The BXC manufacturer grade designation indicates the specific carbide substrate and coating combination selected for steel and general-purpose threading. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance in threading operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating via PVD process for improved hardness and reduced built-up edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14 TPI pitch for NPTF dry-seal external pipe thread forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight hand cutting orientation for standard lathe threading passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.375 inches inscribed circle in 16 ER laydown insert style for compatible toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBXC grade carbide optimized for general-purpose threading applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 16 ER style threading toolholders that accept laydown inserts with a 0.375 inches inscribed circle.

Confirm the toolholder pocket and clamping screw are clean and free of chips before seating the insert to ensure proper contact and repeatability. Always verify thread form and pitch with a thread gauge after the first pass. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting up threading operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 ER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: BXC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads Per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 TPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.146 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CARMEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16ER14NPTFBXC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CARMEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51993256821042,"sku":"16ER14NPTFBXC","price":287.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e1e5af3ad89094b44d17573213a66efd.jpg?v=1789990999","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/carmex-16er14nptfbxc-threading-insert-14-tpi-nptf-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
