Built from high-carbon steel with a black oxide coating, this tap produces 7\/16-14 UNC right-hand threads to a Class 2B fit. The 4-flute straight flute geometry channels chips back out of the hole, making it well-suited for use in softer metals, plastics, and other materials that produce broken chips. Machinists, maintenance techs, and metalworking professionals reach for this tap when restoring or cutting standard UNC fastener threads in production and repair applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 49-57-5155 is intended for right-hand 7\/16-14 UNC threading operations where a plug chamfer is appropriate. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads of taper — makes it versatile for both through-hole and moderately deep blind-hole work. With an overall length of 3.25 inches and a thread length of 1.25 inches, this tap fits standard tap wrenches and machine tap holders used in drill press and CNC tapping setups. It does not include coolant-through capability and is not oversized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/16-14 UNC thread form with Class 2B fit tolerance for standard fastener clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides versatility for through-holes and moderately deep blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute straight flute design promotes chip control in brittle and short-chip materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-carbon steel construction provides hardness suitable for threading softer workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction matches standard UNC fastener orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement tap for standard 7\/16-14 UNC threading applications.

Always secure the workpiece fully before tapping and use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Ensure the tap is started square to the hole to avoid cross-threading or tap breakage. When using in a machine setup, confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material before engaging the tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-14 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.814 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MILWAUKEE TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 49-57-5155\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MILWAUKEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698545525042,"sku":"49-57-5155","price":21.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3fca7d8e5865bb12f6b7a4c0d9183a1f.jpg?v=1788364482","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/milwaukee-tool-49-57-5155-straight-flute-plug-tap-7-16-14-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
