Precision Twist Drill 1010523 Pipe Tap 3/4-14 Npt

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1010523 is a straight flute pipe tap from the 1541 series, designed to cut internal threads in pipe fittings and threaded pipe connections. This tap features a medium hook geometry and a 3/4-14 NPT thread specification, making it suited for cutting standard tapered pipe threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The cutting depth reaches 1.5 inches, and the overall length is 3.25 inches. It is intended for use by plumbers, pipefitters, and machinists who require accurate, clean-threaded pipe connections in production or field repair applications.

This tap is applied in situations where internal pipe threads must be cut or re-chased to 3/4-14 NPT specification. Common use cases include threading ports in pipe manifolds, fittings, valves, and other pipe system components. The straight flute design suits through-hole and softer material applications. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both shop and field use where a reliable hand or machine tap is needed for pipe thread work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tap for applications requiring 3/4-14 NPT internal pipe threads in plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical assembly operations.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or machinists using a tap wrench or tapping machine rated for the workpiece material. Always drill the correct tap drill size for 3/4-14 NPT before tapping, and apply cutting fluid appropriate to the material being threaded. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the tapping operation to prevent tap breakage. Follow applicable codes such as IFGC or IPC when cutting threads on pipe used in gas or water service.
