Eagle Cutting Tool HT-4375-14-T-I 7/16-14 Hss Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-4375-14-T-I is a 7/16-14 high-speed steel (HSS) hand taper tap designed for cutting internal threads in through-holes and blind holes. The taper tap features a gradual chamfer on the lead threads, allowing progressive thread engagement that reduces torque requirements during hand tapping. Built from HSS, the tap delivers sufficient hardness and wear resistance for threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials in shop or field conditions. This is an import-grade tool suitable for general-purpose threading tasks where production-grade tooling is not required.

The HT-4375-14-T-I is used in maintenance, repair, and fabrication work where 7/16-14 UNC threads need to be cut or restored. The 7/16-14 designation indicates a 7/16-inch nominal diameter with 14 threads per inch, a coarse-thread series common in structural fasteners, machinery, and equipment assemblies. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople keep hand taps like this on hand for field repairs and equipment installations requiring threaded connections.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread form for coarse-thread applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Taper chamfer design allows gradual thread engagement and reduced starting torque
• Hand tap style compatible with standard tap handles and T-handle wrenches
• Import-grade pricing suitable for general maintenance and repair use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand taper tap for cutting 7/16-14 UNC internal threads. Compatible with standard tap handles sized for this thread range.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by a tradesperson using a standard T-handle tap wrench or adjustable tap holder. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before tapping. Use appropriate cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tool life. Apply steady, even pressure and back off periodically to break chips and prevent tap breakage.
