Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, this tap produces a 1-1\/2 - 11-1\/2 thread size at 11.5 threads per inch. The 7-flute geometry distributes cutting load evenly, reducing chatter and extending tool life in demanding tapping operations. With an overall length of 4.25 inches and a thread length of 1.75 inches, this tap is suited for production and maintenance environments where consistent, pressure-tight pipe threads are required. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and machinists working in fluid and gas piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in residential, commercial, and industrial piping applications where NPTF-standard threads are specified for leak-free, pressure-tight connections without the need for additional sealants. Typical applications include tapping pipe fittings, manifolds, valve bodies, and hydraulic or pneumatic housings. Compatible material applications include carbon steel, cast iron, and aluminum. The OSG Series 118 designation places it in a well-established product line recognized in machining and pipe-trade settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF thread profile ensures pressure-tight pipe connections without relying on thread sealant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-flute design distributes cutting forces evenly for smoother operation and reduced tool wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across carbon steel, cast iron, and aluminum workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish improves lubrication retention and offers mild corrosion resistance during storage and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard hook geometry suits general-purpose tapping in a range of machine and hand-tap applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5-inch shank diameter and 1.125-inch square size match standard tap holders and wrenches for this size class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in carbon steel, cast iron, and aluminum workpieces requiring 1-1\/2 - 11-1\/2 NPTF-standard pipe threads.

Always apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat buildup and extend tap life. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole diameter is correct for the thread size before starting. Follow applicable IFGC or IPC requirements when tapping pipe threads in gas or fluid distribution systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 - 11-1\/2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.06 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: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1313401\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742553506098,"sku":"1313401","price":483.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/aa3f8cc8e989fc6bf8222e68566123ab_0a3a7587-e03f-4cb7-a37e-c7abbd34ab82.jpg?v=1788838084","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1313401-pipe-tap-1-1-2-11-1-2-nptf-7-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
