Value Collection MSC-04477196 Tap Set 3/4-16 Unf Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-04477196 is a 3-piece tap set designed for cutting 3/4-16 UNF internal threads in metal workpieces. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this set delivers reliable performance in general-purpose threading applications. The taps measure 4.25 inches overall length with a 2-inch thread length, and the 4-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation during cutting. Thread limit is H3, making these taps suitable for medium-fit thread tolerances. Right-hand thread direction is standard for conventional fastener applications. The set weighs 0.9 pounds.

This tap set is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field repair environments where 3/4-16 UNF threaded holes are required. The UNF (Unified National Fine) thread standard is common in automotive, aerospace, and precision mechanical assemblies where fine-pitch threads provide greater holding strength and finer adjustment than coarse-pitch alternatives. The 3-piece set typically includes taper, plug, and bottoming tap styles, allowing the technician to start, progress, and finish threads in through holes and blind holes.

Key Features

• 3/4-16 UNF thread size for fine-pitch internal threading
• High-speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 4-flute design promotes chip clearance and cutting efficiency
• H3 thread limit for medium-fit tolerance applications
• 4.25-inch overall length with 2-inch thread length
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental tap set for any application requiring 3/4-16 UNF right-hand threads per the Unified National Fine thread standard.

Installation Notes

Tap installation should be performed by a machinist or qualified tradesperson using a calibrated tap handle or tapping machine set to the appropriate speed for the workpiece material. Always apply a suitable cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning to prevent movement. Inspect taps for wear or chipping before each use and replace if thread quality degrades.
