Value Collection JY63326789 M22x1.5 Straight Flute Tap Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY63326789 is a straight flute tap designed to cut internal M22x1.5 metric fine threads in pre-drilled holes. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread-forming performance in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The plug chamfer style provides a moderate lead-in of roughly 3 to 5 thread starts, making it suitable for through-holes and deeper blind holes where a gradual cutting entry is preferred. With 4 flutes and a D6 thread limit, this tap holds close tolerances for precision threaded assemblies in machining and maintenance applications.

This tap is used in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance environments where M22x1.5 metric fine threads are required. The metric fine pitch is common in automotive, hydraulic, and precision mechanical assemblies that demand finer thread engagement than standard metric coarse pitches provide. It is installed using a tap handle, tapping head, or CNC machine with appropriate feeds and speeds for the workpiece material. Right-hand threading matches conventional tool rotation for standard tapping operations.

Key Features

• M22x1.5 metric fine thread size for precision thread applications
• 4-flute straight flute geometry for controlled chip evacuation in through and blind holes
• Plug chamfer with 3 to 5 thread lead-in for gradual cutting entry
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose tapping operations
• D6 thread limit for close-tolerance internal threads
• Right-hand thread direction for standard tapping setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight flute tap for use in standard tapping handles, manual tap wrenches, or machine tapping heads that accept straight-shank taps of this size class.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a properly sized tap wrench or powered tapping head. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for M22x1.5 before beginning. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped to reduce heat and extend tap life. Reverse the tap periodically during hand tapping to break chips and prevent binding.
