Eagle Cutting Tool CR975-108-D Hss Hex Nut Taper Pipe Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL CR975-108-D is a high-speed steel (HSS) hex nut taper pipe tap sized at 1-1/8 inches, designed for cutting internal threads in pipe fittings, couplings, and hex nut stock. The taper geometry guides the tap into the workpiece progressively, reducing cutting force and improving thread accuracy. Manufactured in the USA, this tap is suited for use in metalworking, plumbing rough-in, and mechanical piping applications where clean, accurate internal pipe threads are required. At 2.17 pounds, the tool carries the mass expected of a commercial-grade tapping tool built for repeat production use.

This tap is appropriate for threading operations in ferrous and compatible non-ferrous materials where standard pipe thread profiles are specified. It is commonly used by plumbers, pipefitters, and machinists working on threaded pipe assemblies, valve bodies, and fittings in residential and commercial mechanical systems. The hex shank design allows for secure, slip-resistant seating in standard tap wrenches and compatible drive tools, making it practical for both bench and field use.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability and heat resistance during cutting
• Taper geometry for progressive thread engagement and reduced cutting force
• Hex nut tap profile sized at 1-1/8 inches
• USA manufactured to commercial-grade standards
• Hex shank for secure seating in tap wrenches and drive tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tapping tool for applications requiring 1-1/8 inch internal pipe thread cutting in standard metalworking and plumbing piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by qualified machinists, pipefitters, or plumbers familiar with threading tool procedures. Always secure the workpiece properly before beginning the tapping operation, and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Follow applicable IFGC or IPC guidelines when threading pipe fittings intended for gas or water service. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use and replace if cutting edges are chipped or dulled.
