It is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. The plug chamfer style makes it suited for through-hole tapping applications. With 3 flutes and a spiral point geometry, the tap pushes chips forward through the cut rather than packing them behind the tool, keeping the cutting zone clear. Overall length is 3-19\/32 inches with a thread length of 1-21\/32 inches. Thread limit is H3, controlling tolerance for a proper fit with standard Helicoil-style inserts. This tap is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used wherever a damaged or stripped internal thread needs to be restored using a wire thread insert system. The STI profile creates an oversized thread that accepts a coiled insert, which when installed provides a standard 7\/16-14 UNC internal thread. Typical applications include repairing threads in aluminum, cast iron, and steel components in industrial, aerospace, and general maintenance environments. The Helicoil reference number for this tap is 7CSB. It is sold and packaged as a single tap per unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing packing and tool breakage in through-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTI UNC thread standard — produces oversized thread sized to accept wire thread inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for controlled tolerance fit with standard coiled inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (3-5 threads) suited for through-hole tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelicoil reference number 7CSB for cross-referencing insert system compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in STI UNC thread insert systems.

The hole must be drilled to the correct STI tap drill size for 7\/16-14 UNC before tapping — consult the insert manufacturer's drill chart for the proper diameter. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Follow all machine guarding and lockout\/tagout procedures before performing thread repair on installed equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-14 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: STI UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-19\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-21\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelicoil Reference Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7CSB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: K007122AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730567397682,"sku":"K007122AS","price":66.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a3f34fcff5721fda6ce576f42a0a0df0.jpg?v=1788719681","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-k007122as-spiral-point-sti-tap-7-16-14-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
