It features a 4-flute straight flute geometry and a right-hand thread direction with a 3B class of fit and H3 thread limit. The TiN coating extends tool life by reducing friction and resisting wear during repeated threading operations. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 1-inch thread length, this tap is sized for standard hand-tapping work in general machining, maintenance, and fabrication environments. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics install this part in both shop and field settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C55216 is suited for blind-hole and through-hole threading applications. Its bottoming chamfer design allows threads to be cut close to the bottom of a blind hole, making it the correct choice for any job where full thread depth near the hole floor is required. The tap performs across a range of common workpiece materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel. It belongs to the CLEVELAND Series 1003TN, a line of TiN-coated hand taps designed for production and maintenance threading tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends service life across high-volume use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute straight flute geometry provides chip clearance in through-hole and blind-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit and 3B class of fit for standard tolerance threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, 1\/4-20 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and free-machining stainless steel workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind-hole and through-hole threading in alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and free-machining stainless steel.

Always back the tap out periodically to break chips and clear the flutes, particularly in blind holes. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Follow shop safety procedures and inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\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: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.255 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.191 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20\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: 1003TN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 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: C55216\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692664029490,"sku":"C55216","price":28.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e9cd5c5e7ce01a566525005c8a4543f2.jpg?v=1788300815","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c55216-hand-tap-1-4-20-unc-bottoming-tin-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
