Installation Notes

Hand taps should be installed using a properly sized tap wrench to maintain alignment and control torque. Always use cutting fluid when tapping ferrous metals to extend tap life and reduce the risk of breakage. Clear chips frequently, especially in blind-hole applications, to prevent tap breakage. Follow applicable trade codes and employer safety guidelines when working in confined spaces or on energized equipment.
