Bordo NPT Bottoming HSS Tap Drill 3/8" x 18 3052-3/8B Features:

• NPT - National Pipe Tapered
• NPT is a US standard for tapered threads used to join pipes and fittings.
• ANSI/ASME standard B1.20.1 covers threads of 60° form with flat crests and roots.
• The taper on NPT threads allows them to form a seal when torqued as the flanks of the threads compress against each other.
• However a clearance remains between the crests and roots of the threads, resulting in a leakage around this spiral.
• This means that NPT fittings must be made leak-free with the aid of thread seal tape or a thread sealant compound.
• For each 12"" increase in distance from the end, the diameter increases by 3/4"".
• BOTTOMING TAPS have a lead of two threads and are used to ensure minimum thread run-out when tapping to the bottom of a blind hole.
• Bottoming Taps are typically preceded by the use of a Taper or Intermediate Tap.
• Manufactured from HSS this general-purpose tap is designed for use in medium tensile materials and is for hand or general machine use.
