Eagle Cutting Tool CR975-104-D Hss Hex Nut Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL CR975-104-D is a high-speed steel (HSS) hex nut taper pipe tap sized at 1-1/16 inches. Designed for cutting internal tapered pipe threads in hex nuts and similar fastener stock, this tap produces threads that form a pressure-resistant seal when mated with tapered pipe fittings. It is manufactured in the USA and weighs 2.17 pounds. Plumbers, pipefitters, and machinist-trade professionals use this type of tap when threading hex nut blanks or thick stock for use in fluid and gas piping assemblies.

The CR975-104-D is suited for threading operations in industrial, commercial, and mechanical contractor environments. Its taper geometry provides gradual thread engagement, reducing torque requirements and the risk of tap breakage in production or field tapping setups. The hex shank configuration allows secure drive engagement in standard tap wrenches or machine holders. This tap is appropriate for use in steel and other ferrous materials commonly found in pipe fitting and valve manufacturing workflows.
