Value Collection MSC-04473179 Tap Set 7/16-14 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04473179 is a 3-piece tap set designed for cutting 7/16-14 UNC internal threads in metal workpieces. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this set delivers consistent thread forming across tapping operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 4-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action. Each tap measures 3-5/32 inches overall length with a 1-7/16-inch thread length, suited to standard depth-of-cut requirements. The H3 thread limit designation indicates a tight tolerance class appropriate for general-purpose unified coarse thread applications. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance professionals install this set.

This tap set is used in machine shop, maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments where 7/16-14 UNC threaded holes are required. It is appropriate for both bench work and light machine tapping in drill presses or CNC setups. The right-hand thread direction matches the standard UNC fastener convention, making it a direct fit for the vast majority of production and repair applications requiring this thread form in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials.

• 3-5/32 inches overall length with 1-7/16-inch thread length
• 3-piece set provides taper, plug, and bottoming tap coverage for through and blind holes

Compatibility

Designed for cutting standard 7/16-14 UNC internal threads in workpieces compatible with right-hand, unified coarse thread fasteners.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with proper thread-cutting procedures. Always apply a suitable cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tap life, and back the tap off periodically to break and clear chips, especially in blind holes. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping to prevent movement that can cause tap breakage. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and use appropriate personal protective equipment when operating tapping equipment.
