Value Collection SM31P0008 Taper Pipe Reamer 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM31P0008 is a taper pipe reamer designed to finish and size threaded pipe openings to precise tapered tolerances. It features a straight flute geometry with a right-hand cut and right-hand spiral, ground from high-speed steel with a bright finish for corrosion resistance. The reamer measures 0.362 inches at the large end diameter and 0.316 inches at the small end, with a 0.75-inch flute length and a 2.125-inch overall length. The cylindrical straight shank fits standard drill chucks and rotary holders used by pipefitters, plumbers, and machinists working on threaded pipe assemblies.

This reamer is suited for sizing 1/8-inch pipe taper openings in metal workpieces prior to pipe thread engagement. It is used in light manufacturing, maintenance, and field plumbing applications where a clean, accurately tapered bore is required for a leak-free threaded connection. The compact overall length makes it manageable in confined work areas. Typical users include plumbers, pipefitters, and tool-and-die machinists working with ferrous and non-ferrous pipe fittings.

Key Features

• Straight flute design for smooth, consistent material removal in pipe taper applications
• High-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Bright finish reduces surface friction and aids chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for standard clockwise operation
• Cylindrical straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks and rotary holders
• Compact 2.125-inch overall length suited for tight workspaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment taper pipe reamer for 1/8-inch pipe taper applications in metal pipe fittings and threaded bore work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or machinists using a drill press, hand drill, or tap wrench with the appropriate chuck size for the cylindrical shank. Secure the workpiece firmly before reaming to prevent movement and ensure a true bore. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating rotary cutting tools.
