Eagle Cutting Tool HT-4375-14-P-I Hand Plug Tap 7/16-14

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-4375-14-P-I is a 7/16-14 high-speed steel (HSS) hand plug tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads of lead — makes this tap suitable for through-hole threading and general-purpose tapping where the tap can pass completely through the material. At 0.31 pounds, it is a lightweight, handheld tool intended for use with a tap wrench or hand-tapping fixture. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators reach for this style of tap when threading steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials by hand.

This tap is suited for manual threading operations in maintenance, repair, and fabrication environments. The 7/16-14 designation follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards, making it a common size in structural and mechanical assembly work. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, field maintenance, and production environments where hand tapping is preferred or required. The import grade positions it as a practical, cost-effective option for general-duty threading tasks that do not demand premium-grade tooling.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread form for standardized coarse-pitch internal threading
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance for threading steel and non-ferrous metals
• Plug chamfer style supports through-hole and general-purpose hand tapping
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds for comfortable hand-tapping use
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand tap for use with standard tap wrenches and hand-tapping fixtures that accept 7/16-14 UNC tooling.

Installation Notes

Hand taps should be installed and operated by machinists or skilled maintenance technicians familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping, apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being threaded, and back off the tap periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Never force a tap against resistance — doing so risks breakage and damage to the workpiece threads.
