Value Collection JY74527391 Straight Flute Tap M22x2.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY74527391 is a straight flute tap designed for cutting M22x2.5 metric coarse internal threads in through-hole and open-end applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread cutting performance in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The plug chamfer style — with a lead of approximately 3 to 5 threads — makes it well suited for starting in a drilled hole with moderate hand or machine feed. With 4 flutes and a D6 thread limit, this tap provides a standard fit tolerance for general-purpose metric threading work. It is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians working on manual or CNC machine tools.

This tap is used in job shop, production, and MRO applications wherever M22x2.5 metric coarse threads are required. The plug chamfer design handles the majority of through-hole tapping scenarios encountered in industrial and maintenance environments. With an overall length of 4.6875 inches and a thread length of 2.21875 inches, it fits standard tap holders and machine spindles that accept the 0.697-inch shank diameter. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of metric fastener applications.

Key Features

• M22x2.5 metric coarse thread form for standard metric fastener applications
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer with 3-5 thread lead — versatile for most through-hole tapping setups
• 4-flute design offers balanced cutting action and adequate chip clearance
• D6 thread limit suits general-purpose tolerance requirements
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating to flake or delaminate in service
• Right-hand thread direction; no coolant-through requirement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or spare for standard M22x2.5 metric coarse tapping operations using tap holders, tapping heads, or manual tap wrenches sized for a 0.697-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench, tapping head, or rigid machine spindle. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the drilled hole diameter matches the recommended tap drill size for M22x2.5 before starting. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Never reverse the tap under power without first confirming the machine setup supports reverse-feed tapping.
