Value Collection JY63328645 Pipe Tap 1/8-27 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY63328645 is a standard pipe tap designed to cut 1/8-27 NPT internal threads in metal workpieces. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread-cutting performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 4-flute design provides balanced cutting action and helps clear chips efficiently during tapping operations. With a 0.75 inch thread length, this tap is sized for producing tapered pipe threads used in plumbing, HVAC, and gas fitting connections where NPT fittings are standard. It is a hand or machine tap suitable for use in shop or field service applications by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters.

This tap is suited for threading ports, fittings, and pipe connections in residential and light commercial systems. Common applications include tapping threaded ports in manifolds, valve bodies, pipe nipples, and mechanical equipment housings. The 1/8-27 NPT size is widely used for low-pressure instrument connections, gas pilot lines, pressure gauge ports, and similar small-diameter pipe thread applications encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and gas service work.

Key Features

• 1/8-27 NPT tapered pipe thread form for standard pressure-tight connections
• High-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 4-flute design promotes balanced cutting and efficient chip evacuation
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose tapping applications
• 0.75 inch thread length accommodates typical shallow-port tapping depths

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose NPT pipe tap for cutting 1/8-27 tapered internal pipe threads in metal components across plumbing, HVAC, and gas fitting applications.

Installation Notes

Pipe taps are typically used by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters. Always secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and use an appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Follow applicable code requirements under the IPC or IFGC when cutting threads for gas or water supply connections. Inspect threads after tapping to confirm full thread form before assembling fittings.
