Value Collection SM31P0116 Taper Pipe Reamer

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SM31P0116 is a taper pipe reamer designed for enlarging and finishing tapered pipe threads in metal workpieces. It features a straight flute geometry with a right-hand cut and right-hand spiral, machined from high-speed steel with a bright finish for corrosion resistance. The reamer measures 1.553 inches at the large end diameter and 1.444 inches at the small end diameter, with a 4-inch overall length and a 1.75-inch flute length. The cylindrical straight shank allows secure mounting in standard drill presses, lathes, or hand braces. This tool is used by plumbers and pipefitters to prepare pipe ends for proper thread engagement.

The SM31P0116 is suited for 1-1/4 inch pipe applications in both residential and commercial plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical installations. It is typically used when tapping or threading operations leave a bore that requires finishing to achieve a clean, accurate taper for leak-free thread connections. The straight flute design makes it well suited for hand operation or low-speed machine use in softer ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and machinists. Secure the workpiece firmly before reaming and ensure the shank is fully seated and tightened in the chuck before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being reamed to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Follow applicable IFGC, IPC, and shop safety guidelines when working with pipe threads in gas or fluid systems.
