Century Drill Tool Co Inc 95109 Plug Tap 7/16-14 Nc

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 95109 is a 7/16-14 NC (National Coarse) plug-style fractional tap designed for hand cutting internal threads in metal and similar materials. The tap features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed for consistent, repeatable threading results. Heat treated and tempered construction produces hard threads throughout the cutting flutes, extending the useful service life of the tool. This tap is sold in a package of two and is a standard hand-tool item used by machinists, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals who need to cut or clean internal threads in the field or shop.

This tap is suited for hand-tapping applications where a 7/16-14 National Coarse thread form is required. The plug style chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads of lead — makes it the most common choice for through-holes and general-purpose threading tasks. It is appropriate for use in repair work, fabrication, and field service across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trades where threaded fastener holes must be cut or restored.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for hand cutting use with a standard tap wrench. Secure the workpiece before tapping and ensure the correct drill size for a 7/16-14 NC thread is used prior to tapping. Apply cutting fluid when tapping steel or harder materials to reduce friction and extend tap life. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips and prevent binding or breakage.
