Value Collection JY74527383 Straight Flute Tap M20x1.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY74527383 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M20x1.5 metric fine internal threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Made from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers consistent thread quality in moderate-production tapping applications. The plug chamfer provides a gradual lead-in, making it well suited for through-hole applications where the tap can pass fully through the workpiece. With a thread length of 2 inches and an overall length of 4-15/32 inches, it fits standard tap holders and floating tapheads used in manual or CNC setups.

This tap is intended for machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance professionals working with metric fine thread specifications. The M20x1.5 size is common in automotive, hydraulic, and precision mechanical assemblies where fine thread engagement is required for greater thread strength and finer adjustment. The right-hand thread orientation and D6 thread limit make it compatible with standard tapping practices across job shop and industrial maintenance environments.

Key Features

• M20x1.5 metric fine thread form for tight-tolerance thread cutting
• 4-flute straight design provides rigidity and chip control in short-chipping materials
• Plug chamfer with 3-5 thread lead-in suits through-hole tapping applications
• High-speed steel construction offers good wear resistance at standard cutting speeds
• Bright, uncoated finish for general-purpose use without coating compatibility concerns
• D6 thread limit for standard class-of-fit internal threads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling option for applications requiring M20x1.5 metric fine right-hand internal threads in through-hole configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician using a properly sized tap holder or floating taphead. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is aligned perpendicular to the surface before engagement. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Never force a tap against excessive resistance — back off periodically to break chips and prevent tap breakage.
