Value Collection JY9037243 M22x2 Straight Flute Tap Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9037243 is a straight flute tap designed to cut M22x2 Metric Fine internal threads in a single pass. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable thread formation in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The plug chamfer style provides a gradual lead-in, making it well suited for through-hole threading applications. With 4 flutes and a D6 thread limit, this tap is appropriate for general-purpose machine tapping and hand tapping operations where consistent thread accuracy is required. Overall length is 4-11/16 inches with a thread length of 2-7/32 inches.

This tap is used in machining, fabrication, and maintenance environments where M22x2 Metric Fine threads are specified. Typical applications include threading bolt holes in machinery frames, automotive components, hydraulic fittings, and structural assemblies that require fine-pitch engagement. The right-hand thread direction conforms to standard fastening convention. It is suited for use in manual tapping handles and machine tap holders compatible with the shank size. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working to metric fine thread standards will find this tap applicable to production and repair work.

Key Features

• M22x2 Metric Fine thread specification for fine-pitch thread cutting
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across general tapping applications
• Plug chamfer with 3-5 thread lead-in for reliable through-hole starts
• 4-flute straight configuration for controlled chip formation
• D6 thread limit for standard tolerance threading
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread tolerance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or toolroom tap for applications requiring M22x2 Metric Fine right-hand internal threads in through-hole configurations.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed in a properly sized tap wrench or machine tap holder rated for the shank diameter. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before tapping. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being threaded to reduce heat and extend tool life. Follow standard tapping procedures: back off periodically to break chips and prevent tap breakage, especially in deeper holes.
