Manufactured from solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this insert is built for durability and thermal resistance in demanding threading applications. It carries a 6.35 mm inscribed circle and a thickness of 3.17 mm, with a 60-degree included angle conforming to standard NPT thread form geometry. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors, as well as machining professionals, will find this insert suited for CNC lathes and manual threading operations where precision NPT internal threads are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for internal threading operations producing NPT pipe threads at 18 TPI. It is compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, stainless, titanium alloys, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys, as indicated by the universal material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The VTX grade designation reflects VARGUS's standard carbide grade optimized for threading across these material categories. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand internal NPT thread form at 18 TPI, 60-degree included angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2IR insert style with 6.35 mm (1\/4 inch) inscribed circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.17 mm insert thickness for stable laydown seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal workpiece material compatibility: H, K, M, N, P, S material groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to ISO 9001:2008 and USAS B2.1:1968 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 2IR laydown threading toolholders configured for internal NPT thread cutting.
