Value Collection JY79772646 Bsp Pipe Tap 5/8-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY79772646 is a straight-flute, high speed steel pipe tap designed to cut 5/8-14 G(BSP) internal threads in metal workpieces. The plug chamfer distributes cutting load across the first 3 to 5 threads, making it well suited for through-hole tapping where the tap can pass completely through the material. Four flutes provide adequate chip clearance in most ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose HSS tooling and works across a wide range of cutting fluids and dry applications. This tap is handled by machinists, pipefitters, and plumbers producing BSP-threaded ports and fittings in shop and field environments.

This tap is used wherever a 5/8-14 G(BSP) female thread must be cut — commonly in pipe fittings, manifold bodies, hydraulic blocks, and fluid-system housings. G(BSP) is a parallel British Standard Pipe thread form used in plumbing, pneumatic, and hydraulic assemblies across industries that specify metric or BSP fastening standards. It is appropriate for both production tapping on a drill press or tapping machine and hand tapping with a tap wrench in maintenance and repair settings.

Key Features

• 5/8-14 G(BSP) thread size for parallel British Standard Pipe fitment
• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces
• Plug chamfer for general-purpose through-hole tapping
• 4-flute straight design provides balanced chip evacuation and thread form accuracy
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with most cutting oils and coolants
• Right-hand thread direction, standard for conventional tapping operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose tap for cutting 5/8-14 G(BSP) parallel internal pipe threads in applications requiring British Standard Pipe thread form.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or pipefitter familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and ensure the tap is started straight to prevent thread misalignment or tap breakage. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and back off periodically to break chips during hand tapping. Power down any tapping machine and de-energize associated equipment before changing or inspecting tooling.
