Titan Usa TT90233 Straight Flute Tap 10-24 Unc Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA TT90233 is a straight flute hand tap designed for cutting 10-24 UNC internal threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this plug chamfer tap is engineered for standard hand tapping operations where chip evacuation flows back through the flutes. With 4 flutes and an H3 thread limit, it produces Class 2B and 3B fit threads suitable for general-purpose fastener applications. The overall length is 2.375 inches with a thread length of 0.875 inches, making it well-suited for through-hole and moderate blind-hole work in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This tap is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments where 10-24 UNC threaded holes are required. Series 725 designates it as a standard hand tap intended for right-hand threading. It is appropriate for use in manual tap holders, T-handle wrenches, or machine tapping at controlled feed rates. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance mechanics commonly specify this size for fastener holes in electrical enclosures, brackets, and mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread form, right-hand thread direction
• Plug chamfer for starting ease in through-holes and shallow blind holes
• 4 straight flutes for chip control in standard hand and machine tapping
• H3 thread limit for Class 2B and 3B fit accuracy
• High-speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid or tapping compound

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stocking hand tap for 10-24 UNC threading applications. Compatible with conventional tap holders, T-handle wrenches, and machine tap chucks accepting the corresponding shank diameter of 0.194 inches.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by licensed machinists or qualified maintenance technicians using a properly sized tap wrench or machine tap holder. Secure the workpiece before tapping and ensure the tap is started perpendicular to the hole face to avoid cross-threading or tap breakage. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Do not force the tap if resistance increases — back off a half turn periodically to break and clear chips.
