Value Collection JY4843736 Straight Flute Tap 15/32 Uns

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4843736 is a straight flute plug tap designed for cutting 15/32-32 UNS right-hand internal threads in a variety of workpiece materials. Made from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap offers a balance of hardness and toughness suitable for general-purpose threading operations. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads of taper — makes it the standard choice for through-holes and blind holes with adequate clearance depth. With 4 flutes and an H3 thread limit, it holds tight tolerances for consistent thread fit. Overall length is 3-3/8 inches. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals reach for this configuration in production and maintenance settings alike.

This tap is suited for threading operations in machine shops, maintenance and repair facilities, and light manufacturing environments. The 15/32-32 UNS thread form is an Unified National Special designation, used where a non-standard thread pitch is required for a given diameter. The plug chamfer makes it versatile across most common threading scenarios. It is intended for use in a tap wrench, drill press, or CNC tapping cycle with appropriate cutting fluid applied to the work area.

Key Features

• 15/32-32 UNS thread form with right-hand thread direction
• Plug chamfer for versatile use in through-holes and deep blind holes
• H3 thread limit for controlled tolerance threading
• 4-flute straight flute geometry for chip clearance in standard materials
• High-speed steel construction for hardness and re-sharpening capability
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight flute plug tap for cutting 15/32-32 UNS right-hand internal threads in compatible workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Threading operations should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard shop safety procedures. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid to the workpiece before tapping to reduce friction and extend tap life. Secure the workpiece firmly before starting the tapping cycle. Reverse the tap periodically during hand tapping to break and clear chips, and never force the tap if resistance increases unexpectedly.
