HSS käsikierretappi G 1/2 DIN 5157D putkikierteelle

Precision hand tap for cutting G 1/2 parallel pipe threads according to DIN 5157D. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), this tap delivers clean, accurate internal threads in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. Its 4-flute design ensures efficient chip evacuation, while the bright finish reduces friction for smoother cutting.

Advantages

High-speed steel construction offers excellent wear resistance and long tool life. The parallel thread form (55° angle, 14 TPI) conforms to the G (BSP) standard, ensuring compatibility with standard pipe fittings. The square drive provides a secure grip for hand tapping operations.

Suitable for

• Internal threading of pipes and fittings
• Maintenance and repair work in plumbing and mechanical engineering
• Machining of steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals
• Manual tapping applications with a tap wrench
