This tap features a 1\/2-14 BSPT thread size with a plug chamfer, making it suited for general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole tapping applications. Constructed from high speed steel with a bright finish, it delivers reliable cutting performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 4-flute design provides balanced cutting action and adequate chip clearance. Plumbers, pipefitters, and machinists working on BSPT-threaded fittings and pipe connections will find this tap appropriate for repair and fabrication tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used when threading pipe connections that conform to the British Standard Pipe Taper specification. It is applicable in industrial maintenance, plumbing repair, and mechanical fabrication settings where BSPT thread form is required. The plug chamfer style  -  typically 3 to 5 threads of taper  -  makes it a versatile starting tap for most tapping operations, whether run by hand or with a machine tapping setup. It packages individually, suitable for single-tap replacement or supplementing an existing tap set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-14 BSPT thread size for British Standard Pipe Taper applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer style for general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute construction provides balanced cutting and chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright finish  -  no coating  -  for straightforward inspection and reuse assessment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in applications requiring BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) internal threads at the 1\/2-14 thread specification.

Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the tapping operation and align the tap perpendicular to the drilled hole to avoid tap breakage or thread damage. Follow applicable shop safety practices and relevant trade codes when working with threaded pipe connections. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use, and replace if cutting edges show degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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 Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: REGAL CUTTING TOOLS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 015736AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"REGAL CUTTING TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911234191666,"sku":"015736AS","price":86.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6359e1476b4bd4fc25cc99eaa5daac18.jpg?v=1791207331","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/regal-cutting-tools-015736as-pipe-tap-1-2-14-bspt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
