Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it cuts a 4-40 UNC thread profile to an H1 thread limit with a Class 3B fit. The plug chamfer geometry provides a moderate starting angle suited for through-hole and most blind-hole applications. With an overall length of 2 inches and a thread length of 0.6875 inches (11\/16 inches), this tap is sized for compact fastener applications in metal components. It is manually driven by hand using a tap wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used when preparing a tapped hole to accept a 4-40 UNC Heli-Coil insert, typically in situations where original threads are stripped, damaged, or where a stronger threaded connection is needed in softer base materials. It fits residential and light industrial maintenance, manufacturing, and repair applications where fine thread restoration or insert preparation is required on small-diameter holes. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals typically use this tool in bench work or field repair settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCuts 4-40 UNC STI threads sized for Heli-Coil wire insert installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH1 thread limit with Class 3B fit for accurate insert engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer for versatile use in through holes and most blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability in common metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute design for efficient chip clearance in hand tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose tapping with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 4-40 UNC Heli-Coil screw thread inserts as an OEM-style STI preparation tap.

Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the base material before tapping to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Clear chips frequently during tapping, especially in blind holes, to prevent tap breakage. Follow applicable shop safety practices and ensure the workpiece is secured before beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6875 inches (11\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0003 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HELI-COIL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 04CPB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELI-COIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52065079198002,"sku":"04CPB","price":35.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/48b044c41e9668a94a88f17ef02450b3.jpg?v=1790044559","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/heli-coil-04cpb-hand-sti-tap-4-40-unc-h1-plug-chamfer","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
