Century Drill Tool 97317 Metric Plug Tap M10 X 1.50 2-pack

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97317 is an M10 x 1.50 metric plug-style tap designed for hand cutting internal threads in metal, plastic, and other machinable materials. Precision-formed cutting threads deliver consistent, accurate thread profiles on every pass. The tap is heat treated and tempered to file-hard condition, which extends service life and maintains cutting edge integrity under repeated use. Each package contains 2 taps, making it a practical choice for shops and field technicians who want a backup on hand. Plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades use plug taps when restoring or cutting new threads in threaded fittings and enclosures.

This tap is suited to hand-threading applications where a standard plug chamfer provides an easy start and full thread engagement quickly. The M10 x 1.50 size is one of the most common metric fastener sizes encountered in mechanical and HVAC equipment, making this tap a useful addition to any service van or shop tool kit. The 2-unit package quantity provides redundancy for busy shops or jobsite kits where a spare is needed.

Installation Notes

Plug taps are installed by hand using a tap wrench or T-handle driver; power driving is not recommended for hand taps of this size without a tap guide and controlled feed. Back the tap out one quarter turn for every half turn of advancement to break the chip and prevent binding or tap breakage. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the material being threaded to reduce heat and extend tap life. Always wear eye protection when tapping metal.
