Manufactured from high carbon steel, this tap provides the hardness needed to thread ferrous and non-ferrous materials encountered in plumbing and HVAC pipework. The 4-flute design promotes chip evacuation and helps maintain thread accuracy during hand or machine tapping operations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians keep this tap on hand for field repairs and shop fabrication where NPT-threaded connections are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 1\/8-27 NPT threads are standard, including gas line fittings, water supply connections, pneumatic line ports, and instrumentation taps on pressure vessels and manifolds. It is packaged individually and is appropriate for one-off field cuts as well as repetitive shop work. Industrial end users in mechanical contracting, maintenance, and manufacturing will find this tap useful for both new installation and repair threading tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8-27 NPT taper thread form for standard pipe thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh carbon steel construction for durability in common threading materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute design aids chip clearance and produces clean, accurate threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper geometry eases thread starting and progressively forms the full thread profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged individually for single-unit stocking and field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard taper pipe tap for use in any application requiring 1\/8-27 NPT internal threads in pipe fittings, couplings, and threaded ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap should be installed by qualified tradespeople familiar with thread cutting procedures. Use a calibrated tap wrench or appropriate machine holder and apply cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning to prevent tap breakage. Verify thread gauge fit with an NPT plug gauge after tapping to confirm proper thread form before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8-27 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IRWIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524810670386,"sku":"8202","price":42.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-8202-taper-pipe-tap-1-8-27-npt-4-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
