Value Collection JY4886115 Hand Tap 2-5/8-14 Uns

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY4886115 is a straight-flute hand tap designed for cutting 2-5/8-14 UNS internal threads in a shop or field tapping operation. Manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tap features a plug chamfer for general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole threading. The 6-flute geometry provides a strong cutting edge and improved chip load distribution at this large thread diameter. With an overall length of 5.5 inches, it is sized for use with a standard tap wrench or machine holder. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals install this tap where heavy-duty UNS thread restoration or new thread creation is required.

This tap is suited for threading operations in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials where a 2-5/8-14 UNS thread form is specified. The plug chamfer style — typically 3 to 5 threads of taper — makes it the standard starting tap for most threading jobs, working in both through-holes and sufficiently deep blind holes. The right-hand thread direction follows standard UNS callouts. It is sold individually and is appropriate for low-volume production, repair work, and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• 2-5/8-14 UNS thread form, right-hand direction
• Plug chamfer for general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole threading
• 6-flute straight-flute design for balanced cutting at large diameters
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of ferrous workpieces
• Bright uncoated finish — no coolant-through requirement
• Class of fit 3B, thread limit H7 for close-tolerance thread production

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand tap for 2-5/8-14 UNS threaded applications requiring a 3B class of fit and H7 thread limit. Fits standard large-diameter tap wrenches and machine tap holders sized for this shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a tap wrench or appropriate machine holder. The workpiece and tooling must be securely fixtured before beginning the tapping operation. Apply a suitable cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tool life. Inspect the tap for chipping or wear before each use, as a damaged tap can damage the workpiece thread or break in the hole.
