Eagle Cutting Tool PT-15000-115-I Hss Npt Pipe Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL PT-15000-115-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) NPT pipe tap sized 1-1/2 inch at 11-1/2 threads per inch (TPI), conforming to the National Pipe Taper thread standard. This tap is used to cut internal tapered pipe threads in metal workpieces, producing threads that accept standard NPT fittings for pressure-tight connections. The import-grade construction offers a practical option for general-purpose threading work in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this tool.

This pipe tap is suited for threading 1-1/2 inch NPT connections in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Typical applications include threading pipe flanges, fittings, manifolds, and pipe sections in residential and commercial mechanical systems. The 11-1/2 TPI pitch matches the ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standard for NPT threads, making it compatible with standard pipe fittings across plumbing and HVAC piping installations.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with 11-1/2 TPI NPT thread form
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability in threading operations
• Tapered thread profile conforms to NPT standard for pressure-tight connections
• Import-grade option suitable for general-purpose threading tasks
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT pipe tap for cutting 1-1/2 inch 11-1/2 TPI internal tapered pipe threads in materials compatible with HSS tooling.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed using a tap wrench or appropriate machine tap holder. Always apply cutting fluid when threading metal to reduce heat and extend tool life. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before threading. Follow applicable ANSI standards and local mechanical codes when making threaded pipe connections in pressurized systems.
