It is designed for routine maintenance and repair work where high-accuracy tolerance threads are not critical. The straight flutes are ground to allow rapid chip removal, making threading operations faster and more consistent. This tap produces a Class 2B thread fit and is suited for use across a variety of materials. A 5\/16 inches drill bit is required for the pilot hole. Sold in a package of 3 taps per unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for hand threading applications in maintenance, repair, and rethreading tasks across industrial, commercial, and general trade settings. It is well suited for situations where a replacement or repaired thread needs to meet standard Class 2B fit requirements without requiring precision-grade tolerances. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals commonly keep NC taps of this size on hand for fastener repair work on steel, aluminum, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inches x 16 National Coarse thread form produces Class 2B thread fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon steel construction suitable for threading a variety of common materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround straight flutes promote rapid chip removal during hand threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for maintenance and rethreading work where tight tolerances are not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires a 5\/16 inches drill bit for proper pilot hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a package of 3 taps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard fractional hand tap for 3\/8 inches x 16 National Coarse threaded fastener applications in general maintenance and repair work across a wide range of base materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrill the pilot hole to 5\/16 inches before tapping. Apply a suitable cutting fluid or tapping oil to reduce friction and extend tap life. Turn the tap slowly by hand using a tap wrench, backing off a partial turn periodically to break chips. Never force the tap; excessive torque can cause breakage, particularly in harder materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches x 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: National Coarse (NC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Drill Bit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 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: IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8134\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557483872562,"sku":"8134","price":38.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a240a19e83634c97bc8686f2a9f622fd.jpg?v=1786389143","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/irwin-industrial-tool-co-8134-fractional-tap-3-8x16-nc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
