1-5/16 - 12 Plug RH H5 Bright High Speed Steel 6-Flute Straight Flute Hand Tap MPN:013595AS

The 1-5/16 - 12 plug RH H5 bright high-speed steel 6-flute straight flute hand tap is designed for tapping through holes in a wide range of materials such as carbon, alloy and stainless steels. Its key characteristics include its 1 shank diameter, six parallel flutes that create fast chip removal while leaving clean threads, and right-hand hand thread direction with a standard pipe thread (NPT) thread form. The H5 temper designation indicates a balance of hardness and toughness for prolonged usage life in soft to medium machinable materials, and the bright finish reduces friction, preventing galling when starting the tap into the material. Due to these qualities, this tap is widely used by engineers, technicians and machinists in various industries including manufacturing, automotive and construction where reliable thread cutting is necessary.
