Century Drill Tool Co Inc 97318 Metric Plug Tap 11.0x1.50

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97318 is an M11 x 1.50 metric plug-style tap designed for hand cutting applications in metal and other machinable materials. The tap features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed to deliver consistent, exact threading on every pass. Heat treatment and tempering bring the cutting edges to file-hard hardness, extending service life and maintaining thread accuracy across repeated use. Each package contains 2 taps. Total package weight is 0.14 pounds. This tool is a standard choice for technicians and tradespeople who need reliable metric thread creation in field or shop settings.

This tap is suited for hand threading operations where an M11 x 1.50 metric thread is required. The plug chamfer style makes it appropriate for through-holes and for following a taper tap in blind-hole applications. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance professionals when restoring stripped threads or creating new metric threads in brackets, housings, and mechanical components.

Key Features

• Plug chamfer style for through-hole and general-purpose hand threading
• Precision-cut, accurately formed threads for consistent metric thread profile
• Heat treated and tempered to file-hard hardness for extended service life
• M11 x 1.50 metric thread size for common metric fastener applications
• Two taps included per package

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand tap for use with a standard tap wrench in any application requiring an M11 x 1.50 metric thread.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for hand cutting use with a standard tap wrench — do not use in a power driver without a torque-limiting adapter. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before tapping. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being threaded to reduce friction and extend tap life. Reverse the tap periodically to break chips and prevent binding.
