Extension Pipe Tap: 1/16-27 NPT, 4 Flutes, Plug Chamfer, High Speed Steel MPN:K015900AS

The extension pipe tap is a high-speed steel tapered plug tap with a national pipe thread (NPT) that meets both ANSI and ASME standards, featuring a standard right-hand thread. Its construction makes it suitable for use in softer materials like brass, aluminum, copper or steel, and can accommodate up to 1/4 wall thickness without chatter. The 4 flutes ensure smooth cutting, while the plug chamfer provides an efficient entry into the material, reducing chatter and breaking the chip on top, avoiding harm to your workpiece. This extension pipe tap is ideal for use in plumbing, repair works, installation of pipe threaded fittings, or creating custom-length threads in applications such as oil refineries, construction sites, fabrication shops, and general maintenance operations.
