Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tap produces 7\/16-14 UNC threads and features four flutes for efficient chip clearance during the threading operation. The H3 thread limit provides a slightly oversize tolerance class suitable for use with standard coatings or platings applied after tapping. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals install this tap in drill presses, CNC machines, lathes, or by hand with a tap wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for general-purpose threading applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials where 7\/16-14 UNC threads are required. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — makes it the most versatile chamfer style for starting a thread in a drilled through hole or continuing after a taper tap. It is commonly used in production and maintenance environments for creating machine-screw and fastener threads in a wide range of workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/16-14 UNC thread form for standard fractional inch fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour straight flutes promote chip evacuation in through-hole and shallow blind-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer style provides a good balance of cutting ease and thread lead-in versatility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction offers toughness and wear resistance across a broad range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish allows compatibility with post-process coatings or platings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit class accommodates standard plating tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or stock tap for any application requiring right-hand 7\/16-14 UNC internal threads; accepts standard tap wrenches and holders sized for the shank diameter of this thread class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecure the workpiece firmly before tapping and use the correct tap drill size for 7\/16-14 UNC to achieve proper thread engagement. Apply a suitable cutting fluid or tapping compound to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Back the tap out periodically to break and clear chips, especially in deeper holes. De-energize and lock out any machine before installing or removing taps from powered spindles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-14 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4375 inches (1-7\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.15625 inches (3-5\/32 inches)\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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-04473146\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691321426226,"sku":"MSC-04473146","price":20.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b7a17d95e3366638722c4d8d10224cd3.jpg?v=1788283252","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04473146-straight-flute-tap-7-16-14","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
