Value Collection JY4836367 Straight Flute Tap 6-36 Uns

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4836367 is a straight flute tap designed to cut internal threads in a 6-36 UNS thread form. It features three straight flutes and a plug chamfer, making it well suited for threading through-holes where chips can evacuate freely ahead of the tap. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable performance across a range of materials commonly encountered in production and maintenance machining environments. The plug chamfer provides a gradual thread lead-in, reducing the torque required at the start of the cut. Overall length is 2 inches, and the thread limit is H2.

This tap is used in metalworking applications requiring a fine-pitch 6-36 UNS thread, a specification found in precision instrument work, small fastener assemblies, and specialty mechanical components. It is appropriate for manual tapping with a tap wrench or for use in low-speed machine tapping setups. The right-hand thread direction and 3B class of fit make it a standard choice for general-purpose internal thread production in both job shop and production floor settings.

Key Features

• 6-36 UNS thread form with right-hand thread direction
• Plug chamfer for gradual thread engagement in through-hole applications
• Three straight flutes for chip clearance in open-hole tapping
• High-speed steel construction for durability across common work materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance
• H2 thread limit and 3B class of fit for standard tolerance internal threads

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production tap for applications requiring a 6-36 UNS, 3B class of fit internal thread in through-hole configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or tapping head. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before starting the cut. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the work material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Back the tap off periodically to break chips when tapping deeper holes, even in through-hole applications.
