Value Collection JY9975723 Extension Tap 6-32 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9975723 is a spiral point plug extension tap designed for cutting right-hand internal threads in through-holes. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it produces 6-32 UNC threads to an H3 thread limit and a 2B class of fit. At 4 inches overall length, the extended reach makes it well-suited for applications where a standard-length tap cannot access the workpiece. With 2 flutes and a plug chamfer, the tool pushes chips forward through the hole rather than packing them behind the tap, reducing the risk of breakage in through-hole operations. Machinists and maintenance technicians use this tap in manual or machine tapping setups on steel, aluminum, and similar materials.

This tap is appropriate for threading operations in light manufacturing, maintenance and repair, and production environments where 6-32 UNC fastener clearances are required. The extended overall length is particularly useful when threading recessed bosses, deep housings, or other features that standard-reach taps cannot engage. It is sold individually and is suited for use with a tap wrench, tapping fixture, or CNC machine with appropriate feed control.

Key Features

• Spiral point design pushes chips forward, ideal for through-hole tapping
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• 4-inch overall length extends reach beyond standard tap configurations
• H3 thread limit and 2B class of fit meet standard UNC tolerance requirements
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid
• Right-hand thread direction, plug chamfer for standard through-hole entry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use extension tap for applications requiring 6-32 UNC internal threads in through-hole workpieces.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with tapping procedures. Secure the workpiece fully before beginning the tapping operation and ensure the tap is properly aligned to avoid cross-threading or breakage. Always use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to prolong tap life and improve thread quality. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips when working in tougher materials.
