Built from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a steam oxide coating, this tap forms threads by displacing material rather than cutting it, resulting in stronger thread walls and no chips to clear. It measures 2.125 inches in overall length with a thread length of 0.374 inches and a shank diameter of 0.168 inches. The H3 thread limit and 3B class of fit make it well-suited for production environments where consistent thread quality is required. Installed by machinists and maintenance technicians in metalworking shops and industrial facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for through-hole threading in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The plug chamfer with 4 to 4.5 chamfered threads allows the tap to start easily in pre-drilled through holes. It is part of the OSG HY-PRO NRT series, which is engineered for forming threads in materials that benefit from cold-working rather than chip-producing cutting taps. Typical applications include fastener hole preparation in structural components, tooling fixtures, and machine assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt construction provides heat and wear resistance in demanding alloy and stainless steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteam oxide coating reduces friction and aids lubrication retention during tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread forming design eliminates chips, reducing tap breakage risk in blind and through holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit with 3B class of fit ensures consistent, gaugeable thread quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (4 to 4.5 threads) for reliable starting in through-hole setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction, 32 threads per inch, 8-32 UNC standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole thread forming in alloy steel, carbon steel, die steel, hardened steel, stainless steel, and aluminum per OSG material application codes P and N.

Use a recommended tapping fluid or cutting oil appropriate for the workpiece material, particularly when working with stainless or alloy steels. Secure the workpiece and use a calibrated tapping machine or tapping attachment to maintain axial alignment and avoid tap breakage. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping regularly, as cobalt taps in hardened materials are subject to fatigue under repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32\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\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 to 4.5P\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.374 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.752 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.168 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.131 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steam Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Carbon Steel, Die Steel, Hardened Steel, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.005 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HY-PRO NRT\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: 1400115201\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749766299954,"sku":"1400115201","price":30.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/221fe5a9bec7a6a920e5f65c6f973ffa.jpg?v=1788910214","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-1400115201-thread-forming-tap-8-32-unc-plug-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
