Eagle Cutting Tool HT-8750-14-T-I Hss Hand Taper Tap 7/8-14

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-8750-14-T-I is a 7/8-14 UNF high-speed steel hand taper tap designed for cutting internal threads by hand in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The taper tap features a gradual thread lead that distributes cutting load across multiple flutes, making it well suited for starting threads in through-holes and blind holes with adequate depth. At 0.31 pounds, it is a lightweight tool that balances easily in a standard tap wrench. This tap is intended for use by machinists, plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance tradespeople who need to cut or restore 7/8-14 unified fine threads in the field or in the shop.

This tap is applicable to general-purpose threading tasks in residential, commercial, and industrial maintenance settings. The 7/8-14 UNF thread form is commonly encountered in hydraulic fittings, mechanical assemblies, and equipment repair work. It is used wherever a fine-pitch thread is required in a 7/8-inch nominal diameter application. The import designation indicates a cost-effective grade suited for intermittent hand-tapping operations rather than high-volume production environments.

Key Features

• 7/8-14 UNF thread form for fine-pitch internal threading applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• Taper lead distributes cutting force gradually, reducing the risk of tap breakage on entry
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds, compatible with standard tap wrenches and T-handles
• Minimum order quantity of 1, available as a single-piece purchase

Compatibility

Designed as a hand taper tap for use in any application requiring a 7/8-14 UNF internal thread; compatible with standard tap wrenches and T-handle drivers sized for 7/8-inch taps.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by hand using a tap wrench or T-handle driver. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tap life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding, and never apply excessive torque to avoid breakage.
