1/4-18 NPTF, 5 Flutes, TiN Coated, High Speed Steel, Interrupted Thread Pipe Tap MPN:385789

This 1/4-18 NPTF pipe tap is an essential tool used to create threads for screwing male pipe threads into female threaded connections securely. Its 5 flute design allows for faster material removal and easier chip extraction during drilling or tapping operations, while the TiN coated high-speed steel construction enhances wear resistance, durability, and longevity against corrosion from various materials commonly encountered in plumbing, mechanical, industrial or automotive applications. This thread pipe tap excels in producing precise, uniform threads across different metals, composites, or plastics with excellent retention while reducing thread stripping risks that could lead to leakage, disconnection or damage of equipment components. Its small size makes it suitable for narrow spaces or restricted access environments where conventional tapping methods might be challenging. The 1/4-18 NPTF interrupted thread pipe tap is an indispensable tool for professionals in construction, engineering, aerospace, manufacturing and automotive sectors seeking high precision, consistent thread creation with ease of use, efficiency, and reliability under diverse applications and demanding conditions.
