It is designed to cut tapered pipe threads in metal workpieces, producing threads that accept standard NPT fittings for fluid or gas system connections. The interrupted thread geometry reduces cutting pressure and helps clear chips more efficiently than a standard tap, making it well suited for production tapping in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With 4 flutes and a regular hook, this tap delivers consistent thread form across typical pipe-fitting thread depths. Overall length is 2.125 inches with a thread length of 0.6875 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machining, fabrication, and maintenance applications wherever 1\/16-27 NPT threaded ports are required. Common install scenarios include tapping ports in manifolds, valve bodies, hydraulic blocks, fittings, and small-diameter pipe connections. It is appropriate for use in manual tapping handles, drill presses, and CNC tapping cycles where interrupted-thread tooling is specified. Machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general fabrication environments are the primary users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterrupted thread design reduces cutting torque and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of thread condition during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute geometry produces accurate NPT taper thread form\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular hook angle suits standard tapping operations in a range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/16-27 NPT thread standard compatible with common small-diameter pipe fittings and port applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for applications requiring 1\/16-27 NPT tapped ports in machined components and fabricated assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this tap is performed by machinists and trades professionals using appropriate tapping fluid or cutting oil to extend tool life and improve thread finish. The workpiece should be securely fixtured before tapping begins, and the correct tap drill size for 1\/16-27 NPT should be confirmed prior to drilling. Use a calibrated torque handle or controlled-feed tapping attachment to avoid tap breakage, particularly in blind holes. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace worn tooling before beginning production runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16-27\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSC-00227850\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708832579890,"sku":"MSC-00227850","price":31.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/216e057da05a3b24040622c13699c33c.jpg?v=1788448575","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-00227850-pipe-tap-1-16-27-npt-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
