Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this plug-chamfer tap drives chips forward ahead of the cutting edge, making it well suited for through-hole tapping operations. The H3 thread limit provides controlled oversize tolerance for plated or tight-tolerance applications. With 3 flutes and a 1.4375-inch thread length, it delivers consistent thread engagement across a range of materials commonly found in manufacturing and maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machining, maintenance, repair, and fabrication environments where 7\/16-20 UNF threads are required. The plug chamfer style, with typically 3 to 5 lead threads, makes it a versatile choice for both hand tapping and machine tapping in through-hole applications. It is appropriate for use in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working on mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment repairs are the primary users of this tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing clogging in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/16-20 UNF thread form for fine-pitch fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit for controlled tolerance, suitable for plated or close-fit threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides durability across a range of machinable metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer allows use in both hand and machine tapping setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect thread sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-use spiral point tap for any application requiring a right-hand 7\/16-20 UNF internal thread in a through-hole configuration.

Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for 7\/16-20 UNF before beginning the tapping operation. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Do not reverse-feed the tap without breaking the chip, as this can cause tap breakage in tighter materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Style\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\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\u003eOversize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241600\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-04543203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693355958578,"sku":"MSC-04543203","price":19.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/41d4e0dcf8ad163a1ce9f9ef782d1cfc.jpg?v=1788311149","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04543203-spiral-point-tap-7-16-20-unf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
