Interrupted thread geometry reduces chip packing in the flute gullets, lowering cutting torque and the risk of tap breakage in tough or stringy materials. With 5 flutes, a 0.4375-inch shank diameter, and a 0.320-inch square drive size, this tap is built for threading pipe fittings, couplings, and ports to the NPT standard. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance trades use this style of tap for creating tapered pipe threads in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pipe tap is suited for production and maintenance applications requiring 1\/8-27 NPT tapered threads. Typical uses include threading steel, cast iron, brass, and aluminum workpieces where a leak-tight pipe connection is required. The NPT taper thread form provides a self-sealing fit when assembled with compatible pipe fittings or nipples. The bright finish keeps tool cost low and is appropriate for general-purpose tapping with cutting fluid applied at the point of contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterrupted thread design reduces chip packing and cutting torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides toughness across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-flute configuration for improved chip evacuation and surface finish in the thread form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8-27 NPT taper thread standard for leak-tight pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish for general-purpose use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular hook geometry for controlled cutting action in through and blind applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any standard tap wrench, T-handle, or machine spindle accepting a 0.4375-inch shank with a 0.320-inch square drive.

Always apply a compatible cutting fluid or tapping oil before and during the threading operation to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Back the tap off periodically to break and clear chips, especially in deeper holes or tougher materials. Secure the workpiece fully before beginning to prevent movement during tapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8-27\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: 5\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\u003eHook\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\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: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.320 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 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-04663027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699582861618,"sku":"MSC-04663027","price":38.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/66754a13e0a2a88419fee2326c1821b8.jpg?v=1788377795","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04663027-pipe-tap-1-8-27-npt-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
