Value Collection CCT1593 Tap Die Set Unf 41 Piece

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CCT1593 is a 41-piece tap and die set covering UNF thread sizes from 1/8-44 up to 3/4-16. Both taps and dies are manufactured from carbon steel, providing adequate hardness for threading work in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. The hex-profile dies allow standard open-end or box wrench engagement in addition to a die wrench, which is practical when working in confined areas. The set ships in a metal case with two straight tap wrenches included. This type of set is a standard bench-shop or service-van tool for plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and electricians who regularly cut or chase UNF threads in the field or at a shop.

This set is suited for residential and light commercial maintenance, repair, and fabrication tasks where UNF fastener threads need to be cut, restored, or chased. The range of 12 die sizes and corresponding tap sizes covers the most commonly encountered fractional UNF thread pitches in mechanical and trade work. The included metal storage case keeps components organized and protected during transport and storage.

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose UNF thread cutting and chasing across a broad range of fractional fastener sizes commonly used in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade applications.

Installation Notes

Tap and die work should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with proper threading technique. Always apply cutting oil when threading steel to reduce heat, extend tool life, and produce cleaner threads. Back the tap or die off periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Inspect taps for cracks or chipped flutes before use and never force a tap in a blind hole, as breakage can be difficult to recover from.
