Value Collection JY79772638 Bsp Pipe Tap 3/8-19

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY79772638 is a straight-flute hand tap designed to cut internal 3/8-19 G(BSP) threads in a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread formation in ferrous metals, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. The plug chamfer — approximately 3 to 5 threads of lead — makes it suitable for through holes as well as most blind-hole applications where a starting taper is not required. With 4 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, it is a standard production and maintenance tool used by pipefitters, plumbers, and machinists working to British Standard Pipe specifications.

This tap is used wherever G(BSP) parallel pipe threads must be cut into fittings, manifolds, housings, or pipe end connections that conform to the British Standard Pipe thread form. Typical applications include hydraulic and pneumatic component repair, industrial fluid system fabrication, marine and import equipment service, and plumbing systems where BSP thread standards are required. The 3/8-19 designation refers to a nominal 3/8-inch pipe diameter with 19 threads per inch. It is installed by hand or in a standard tap wrench without coolant-through capability.

Key Features

• 3/8-19 G(BSP) thread form for British Standard Pipe parallel thread applications
• High speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of materials
• Plug chamfer provides 3 to 5 threads of lead — suited for through holes and most blind holes
• 4 straight flutes with regular hook for consistent chip evacuation in standard cutting conditions
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance
• Right-hand thread direction, compatible with standard tap wrenches and machine holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 3/8-19 G(BSP) internal parallel pipe thread. Compatible with standard tap wrenches and straight-shank machine tap holders sized for the 0.8661-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed by a qualified machinist, pipefitter, or plumber familiar with hand-tapping procedures. Secure the workpiece firmly and align the tap perpendicular to the drilled hole before applying cutting pressure. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and clear flutes during the cutting operation.
