Built from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this 4-flute plug-chamfer tap delivers consistent thread geometry under hand or machine-assisted tapping conditions. The plug chamfer style provides a gradual lead-in over several threads, balancing cutting load between the starting threads and the full-form threads that follow. With an overall length of 3.813 inches and a thread length of 1.81 inches, the tap is sized for standard metric threading work on a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C54802 is suited for production and maintenance threading in job shops, manufacturing facilities, and MRO environments. Its 6H class of fit and D7 thread limit make it appropriate for standard tolerance metric threaded holes where a close but not interference fit is required. It performs well when threading alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel. The Series 1002 designation identifies it within Cleveland's standard hand tap line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM16x2.00 metric coarse thread profile with 6H class of fit and D7 thread limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer style for balanced lead-in across multiple threads — suitable for both blind and through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute straight-flute geometry for chip control in a variety of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating buildup interference, easy inspection of cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank diameter of 0.48 inches with a 9\/16-inch square drive for standard tap wrench or holder engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in M16x2.00 metric coarse tapping applications across alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces in both blind-hole and through-hole configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTapping should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with thread cutting practices. Always secure the workpiece and apply appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped before starting. Use a calibrated tap wrench or tapping head sized for the 9\/16-inch square drive. Back off the tap periodically to break chips, particularly in blind-hole applications, and never force the tap against bottom resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M16x2.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.813 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.81 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches (12.19 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Drive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.36 inches (9.14 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Drive Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5625 inches (14.29 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading, Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Free-Machining Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.34 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C54802\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694187938098,"sku":"C54802","price":88.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bfaac23db353d2e814f9675c076b0d3f.jpg?v=1788321445","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c54802-hand-tap-m16x2-00-plug-4-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
