Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tap handles the demands of production and maintenance threading applications. The plug chamfer provides a moderate lead-in with approximately 3 to 5 threads chamfered, making it suitable for through-hole and most blind-hole applications. With a 4-inch overall length and 0.4375-inch shank diameter, it offers added reach in confined or deep-bore work that standard-length taps cannot access. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians rely on this tap to create clean, leak-resistant NPT threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used wherever 1\/8-27 NPT threads must be cut in metal workpieces, including pipe caps, fittings, valve bodies, and pressure ports. The extension length makes it well suited for applications where thread access is restricted by surrounding material or fixture depth. Typical materials tapped include mild steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable metals. It is commonly used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where NPT-threaded fittings must be added or restored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8-27 NPT thread form for standard pipe fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across a range of machinable metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with moderate lead-in suits through-hole and most blind-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-inch overall length provides extended reach over standard-length taps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute design promotes chip clearance and threading efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish for use across general-purpose threading applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose 1\/8-27 NPT extension pipe tap compatible with standard tap wrenches, extension tap holders, and machine tool chucks that accept a 0.4375-inch round shank with a 0.3280-inch square drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed and used by machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or appropriate machine tool holder. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct NPT tap drill size before threading. Apply cutting fluid throughout the tapping process and back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Do not force a tap that has seized — back it out carefully to avoid breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8-27 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 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: 0.3280 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3120 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\u003eInterrupted Thread\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 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-04674024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692454314290,"sku":"MSC-04674024","price":45.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/091681f4ba7f7a77d7af180e03c6f6f7.jpg?v=1788297734","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-msc-04674024-extension-pipe-tap-1-8-27-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
