Value Collection JY4841938 Hand Tap 11/32-32 Uns

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4841938 is a bottoming hand tap designed for cutting 11/32-32 UNS internal threads in pre-drilled holes. Manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tap is built to handle threading operations in a wide range of materials where a standard HSS tool is appropriate. The bottoming chamfer — typically 1 to 2 thread leads — allows the tap to cut threads almost to the bottom of a blind hole, making it the right choice when full thread depth close to the hole floor is required. With 4 straight flutes and a right-hand thread direction, it is driven by hand using a standard tap wrench.

This tap is suited for manual threading in job shop, maintenance, and repair applications where blind-hole work demands maximum thread engagement at depth. The 11/32-32 UNS thread designation is a Unified National Special form, used in specialized fastener and instrument applications rather than the common UNC or UNF series. The 2-15/16 inch overall length provides adequate wrench clearance for most setups. This is a hand-use tool and is not intended for machine tapping under power.

Key Features

• Bottoming chamfer for threading to near the bottom of blind holes
• 11/32-32 UNS thread form for specialized thread applications
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance
• 4-flute straight flute geometry for consistent chip formation in hand tapping
• Class 3B fit with H3 thread limit for close-tolerance thread production

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use hand tap for any application requiring an 11/32-32 UNS bottoming tap with a 3B class of fit and H3 thread limit.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for use with a hand tap wrench only — do not use in a power tapping head or drill press without appropriate torque control. Secure the workpiece before tapping and ensure the starter hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for a 11/32-32 UNS thread. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and clear the flutes when working in blind holes.
