Manufactured from select high-speed steel.

Ground thread pipe taps are standard in American Standard Pipe Form (NPT) and American Standard Dryseal Pipe Thread Form (NPTF).

NPT threads require the use of a sealer, such as Teflon® tape or pipe compound.

NPTF dryseal threads give a pressure-tight joint without the use of a sealer.

The nominal size of a pipe tap is that of the pipe fitting to be tapped, not the actual size of the tap’ thread taper is 3/4″ per foot.

Alternate tap coatings are available as stock modifications.
