Running under ISO code LT11NR18NPT and manufacturer grade KC5025, this insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, which improves wear resistance and thermal stability during threading. It cuts at 18 threads per inch (TPI) with a right-hand orientation, making it suitable for producing standard NPT taper pipe threads in a lathe or CNC turning center. The inscribed circle measures 0.25 inches, and the insert thickness is 0.126 inches (3.04 mm). Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments install this insert on compatible toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is used for internal threading on a range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. The KC5025 grade with TiAlN PVD coating is well suited for these demanding materials where edge integrity and coating adhesion are critical. Typical applications include threading pipe fittings, hydraulic components, and fluid-system housings that require NPT taper thread forms. It fits NR-style insert seats in size 11 toolholders designed for laydown threading geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with TiAlN PVD coating for extended tool life on ferrous and exotic alloy workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 TPI internal NPT thread form for standard taper pipe thread production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting orientation, NR insert style, size 11 seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInscribed circle of 0.25 inches with hole diameter of 0.128 inches for secure clamping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting edge to theoretical edge length of 0.031 inches; face of insert to tip centerline of 0.039 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in NR-style, size 11 laydown threading toolholders.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Use the correct torx or hex key to the toolholder manufacturer's specified clamping procedure — do not overtighten or impact-drive the clamping screw. Confirm insert orientation and thread hand match the programmed tool path before resuming cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: LT11NR18NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KC5025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: NR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads Per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.126 inches (3.04 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.128 inches (3.25 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge to Theoretical Edge Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.031 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFace of Insert to Tip Centerline\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.039 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Superalloys, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23291804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.066 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: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1743966\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727872327986,"sku":"1743966","price":591.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b867ce79898bfc84185d6c678a8b301a.jpg?v=1788683777","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-1743966-threading-insert-18-tpi-npt-kc5025","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
