Value Collection JY4842878 Hand Tap 13/32-32 Uns

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4842878 is a straight-flute hand tap designed for cutting internal threads in through-holes and blind holes where a bottoming chamfer is required. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap handles 13/32-32 UNS thread forms with a right-hand thread direction. The H3 thread limit keeps tolerances tight for a Class 3B fit, making it suitable for precision threading applications. At 3-5/32 inches overall length, it fits standard tap wrench handles used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals.

This tap is suited for threading ferrous and non-ferrous metals in shop, maintenance, and manufacturing environments. The bottoming chamfer allows threads to be cut close to the bottom of a blind hole, which is critical when thread engagement depth is limited by part geometry. The 4-flute straight-flute design performs reliably in most materials where chip packing is not a concern. It is a manual hand tap and is not intended for use in CNC tapping cycles or power-feed applications.

Key Features

• Bottoming chamfer cuts threads to within 1-2 threads of a blind hole bottom
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose threading operations
• H3 thread limit delivers consistent Class 3B fit tolerances
• 4-flute straight-flute geometry for stable cutting action
• Right-hand thread direction, standard for 13/32-32 UNS applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for any application requiring a 13/32-32 UNS Class 3B internal thread with a bottoming chamfer in a hand-tapping setup.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by hand using a standard tap wrench — secure the square shank firmly before applying torque. Always use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Keep the tap aligned perpendicular to the workpiece surface to avoid bell-mouthing or tap breakage. Follow shop safety practices and wear eye protection when tapping.
