Pipe and Conduit Thread Taps
Create threads sized for pipe and conduit. For use on most metal and plastic, these high-speed steel taps are durable enough for small-scale tapping jobs, but they're not recommended for production use. They have a square shank that's compatible with tap wrenches and tap holders for drill presses and milling machines.
Uncoated taps are strong enough for most tapping jobs but have the shortest tool life. Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated taps resist heat and wear better than uncoated taps, letting them last up to twice as long.
Bottoming-chamfer taps cut into the workpiece with just 1-2 chamfered threads. This short chamfer lets them thread holes closer to the bottom than other taps, but they require more torque to start threads.

Pipe and Conduit Tap Sets
Create pipe and conduit threads in a range of hole diameters. With a square shank, these taps are compatible with tap wrenches and tap holders for drill presses and milling machines.
Taps with NPT and BSPT threads have a plug chamfer for start-to-finish thread tapping.
Carbon steel taps are for thread repair and occasional tapping.
