Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it produces the tight, pressure-tight thread form required by NPTF specifications. With 4 flutes and a regular hook geometry, it provides efficient chip evacuation during cutting. Overall length is 2.125 inches with a 0.75-inch thread length, making it a compact, purpose-built tool for pipe thread work in production and maintenance environments. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this tap where reliable fluid-sealing threads are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for threading 1\/8-27 NPTF pipe connections in non-ferrous metals including aluminum, as well as steel. Typical applications include creating threaded ports in manifolds, valve bodies, fittings, and hydraulic or pneumatic components where a pressure-tight seal without sealant tape is the goal. The 4-flute design handles both through and blind pipe thread applications in moderate-depth holes common to trade and industrial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPTF thread form produces a pressure-tight pipe thread per ANSI standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides durability across non-ferrous and steel workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute geometry with regular hook for efficient chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish allows visual wear inspection during service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 2.125-inch overall length fits standard tap handles and machine setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.4375-inch shank diameter provides solid grip in tap chucks or holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPTF pipe tap for use in hand tapping, drill press, and CNC tapping applications requiring 1\/8-27 tapered pipe thread in aluminum and steel workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists or pipefitters using a properly sized tap wrench or machine tap holder rated for the shank diameter. Always use a cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Start the tap square to the hole to avoid cross-threading or tap breakage.
