    Pipe and Conduit Drill Taps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drill Taps. Pipe and Conduit Drill Taps.
    Drill and thread holes for pipe and conduit without switching tools. Made of uncoated high-speed steel, these tools are for use on most metal and plastic. Their right-hand spiral flutes keep chips clear by drawing them back toward the tap and out of the hole. With a square shank, they're compatible with tap wrenches and tap holders for drill presses and milling machines. All have a plug chamfer with 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, so they're suitable for start-to-finish tapping of through holes.

    Chip-Clearing Pipe and Conduit Taps for Aluminum, Brass, and Bronze

    Slightly hooked cutting teeth grab and remove long chips from the hole. These taps prevent buildup from soft metals that can ruin threads and keep pipe and conduit from making strong connections.

    Left-Hand Pipe and Conduit Taps

    Left-hand threads make it easier to disconnect or join sections of pipe. Similar to using a union fitting, you don’t need to rotate the whole pipe to make changes. These taps have straight flutes that are good for most jobs.

    Chip-Clearing Pipe and Conduit Taps

    With widely spaced flutes, chips fall away from the tap and plenty of lubricant flows to the workpiece. These taps prevent buildup that can ruin threads and keep pipe and conduit from making strong connections. Also known as interrupted-thread taps.

    Long-Reach Pipe and Conduit Taps

    Reach into the deep recesses of your system and bypass obstructions to thread pipe and conduit. These are twice as long as standard taps but with the same shank diameter, so you don’t need a different holder. They have straight flutes that are good for most jobs.
