Built from high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it offers improved wear resistance and reduced friction compared to uncoated taps. The plug chamfer — with several lead threads tapered — makes it well suited for both through-hole and blind-hole threading applications. Four flutes provide adequate chip clearance while maintaining tool rigidity. The tap carries a Class 3B thread fit at an H3 thread limit, meeting close-tolerance threading requirements common in production and maintenance machining environments. Installation is by hand or through a tapping fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in job shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production machining environments where 1\/2-13 UNC threads must be cut or chased. It is appropriate for blind-hole and through-hole applications in alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel. The plug chamfer style makes it the standard choice when starting a tap in a pre-drilled hole where the tap cannot be run completely through from one side. It belongs to the Cleveland Series 1002TN product line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 UNC thread form, right-hand, Class 3B fit at H3 thread limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating increases surface hardness and extends tool life in abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides 3-5 lead threads for controlled thread start in blind or through holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute straight-flute geometry supports chip clearance in a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides toughness for hand tapping and low-speed machine tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through design — suitable for hand tapping and standard tapping setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting 1\/2-13 UNC internal threads in alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel; compatible with both blind-hole and through-hole threading applications per Series 1002TN design specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using a standard tap wrench, T-handle, or tapping fixture. Always use the correct tap drill size for a 1\/2-13 UNC thread before tapping. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and apply appropriate cutting fluid for the material being threaded. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding, particularly in blind holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13\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: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.375 inches (3-3\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.940 inches (1-21\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.367 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4375 inches (7\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.275 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 1002TN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C55132\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711322292530,"sku":"C55132","price":54.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2ab39d5a04caead2f6bc536ed446076f.jpg?v=1788475660","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c55132-hand-tap-1-2-13-unc-plug-tin-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
