Manufactured from high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tap delivers increased surface hardness and lubricity to extend tool life in demanding applications. The plug chamfer style provides moderate lead-in, making it suitable for both blind hole and through-hole threading. With a 3-flute straight flute geometry and right-hand thread direction, it is engineered for controlled chip formation and reliable thread quality. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C55160 is intended for 4-40 UNC thread production in materials including steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Its 2B class of fit and H2 thread limit make it appropriate for standard tolerance threaded assemblies in precision manufacturing, MRO maintenance, and fabrication environments. The tap is suited for use in both manual hand tapping applications and guided machine setups at low speeds. It covers a thread length of 0.31 inches, making it compatible with shallow threading requirements common in light mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction for longer tool life in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides toughness and heat resistance during tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 3-flute straight flute geometry supports both blind hole and through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH2 thread limit and 2B class of fit ensure standard tolerance compliance for precision assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand, 4-40 UNC thread form compatible with common unified coarse thread fastener standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact overall length of 1.875 inches suited for confined workspace access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 4-40 UNC thread production in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron workpieces.

Always secure the workpiece firmly and use appropriate cutting fluid or tapping lubricant for the material being threaded. When tapping blind holes, periodically back the tap out to clear chips and prevent breakage. Follow shop safety practices and applicable OSHA standards when operating cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-40\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: 40\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: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.110 inches\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\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading, Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 0.2 pounds\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: C55160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693772833074,"sku":"C55160","price":31.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4da654a020eba5cac9ca2452174f408c.jpg?v=1788317180","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c55160-hand-tap-4-40-unc-plug-rh-tin-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
