Value Collection JY63328512 Plug Hand Tap 10-24 Unc Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY63328512 is a plug chamfer hand tap designed for cutting internal 10-24 UNC threads in a wide range of materials. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright finish, this tap delivers reliable cutting performance and wear resistance under normal hand-tapping conditions. The plug chamfer style features a moderate lead-in of approximately 3 to 5 threads, making it well suited for through-holes and moderately deep blind holes where a gradual thread start is preferred. With an overall length of 6 inches and an H3 thread limit, this tap holds tight tolerances appropriate for standard UNC fastener fits.

This tap is intended for use in machine shops, maintenance environments, and trade applications where hand tapping of 10-24 UNC threads is required. The right-hand, 3-flute configuration handles both ferrous and non-ferrous materials in typical repair, fabrication, and assembly scenarios. It is commonly used by machinists, millwrights, electricians, and HVAC and plumbing technicians when re-threading or tapping new holes in panels, brackets, and equipment housings.

Key Features

• Plug chamfer provides a gradual thread lead-in for through-holes and open blind holes
• High-speed steel construction for durability and resistance to heat during cutting
• Bright finish reduces friction and is suitable for general-purpose tapping applications
• H3 thread limit maintains close tolerances for standard UNC thread fits
• Right-hand, 3-flute design promotes chip evacuation during hand tapping
• 6-inch overall length provides clearance for deep or obstructed hole access

Compatibility

Designed for cutting 10-24 UNC internal threads. Compatible with standard tap wrenches and T-handle tap holders sized for number 10 taps.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for use by machinists and trade professionals performing hand-tapping operations. Use a properly sized tap wrench and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Back off the tap periodically to break chips and prevent binding, especially in blind holes. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping to maintain alignment and avoid tap breakage.
