Value Collection JY79772729 3/4-14 Bspt Pipe Tap Bottoming 5 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY79772729 is a straight-flute British Standard Pipe Tap designed to cut 3/4-14 BSPT internal threads in through-holes and blind holes requiring full thread engagement at the bottom. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable thread-cutting performance in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bottoming chamfer provides only 1 to 2 threads of lead, allowing the tap to cut threads as close to the bottom of a blind hole as the application demands. With 5 flutes and a right-hand thread direction, it is suited for precise, production-level pipe thread work carried out by plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance machinists.

This tap is used wherever BSPT-standard pipe threads are required, including fluid system fittings, hydraulic components, pneumatic assemblies, and industrial pipe connections that follow British Standard specifications. The bottoming chamfer style makes it especially appropriate as the final tap in a two-tap sequence after a taper or plug tap has been used to begin the thread, or as a standalone tool in through-hole applications where maximum thread depth is critical. It is a practical choice for job-shop and maintenance environments handling metric-compatible British pipe standards.

Key Features

• 3/4-14 BSPT thread size with right-hand thread direction for standard BSPT pipe connections
• Bottoming chamfer for full thread cutting close to the bottom of a blind hole
• 5-flute straight-flute geometry for controlled chip formation and thread accuracy
• High-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting oils and standard tapping fluids
• No coolant-through requirement, compatible with conventional hand or machine tapping setups

Compatibility

Designed for cutting 3/4-14 BSPT internal threads per British Standard Pipe Taper specifications. Suitable for use in manual tap handles, drill press setups, and CNC tapping cycles configured for the appropriate thread pitch and diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or pipefitter familiar with BSPT thread standards and proper tapping procedures. Always secure the workpiece and use an appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread finish. For blind-hole applications, use a plug or taper tap first before finishing with this bottoming tap to avoid tool breakage. Never force the tap if resistance increases suddenly; back off to clear chips and check hole depth before continuing.
