Pipe Tap, Straight Flute, Imperial, NPT, Tapered Chamfer, High Speed Steel, Bright Coated, Medium

Straight Flute. Medium hook for multi-material tapping. Generally used for pipe fittings and couplings in most ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The nominal size of a pipe tap is that of the pipe fitting to be tapped and not the actual size of the tap. NPT threads require the use of a ‘sealant’ such as teflon tape or pipe compound to ensure a tight joint.
