This 3/4" IPS 14 NPT (Taper) Pipe Tap is a precision cutting tool designed to create, repair, or clean internal pipe threads in nominal pipe size (NPS) or tapered pipe (NPT) applications. Commonly used in plumbing, lighting fixture manufacturing, and equipment maintenance, this tap helps ensure secure, pressure-tight connections for water, gas, and oil lines.
Taper Pipe (NPT) threads are engineered to taper at a rate of 3/4 inch per foot, allowing the threads to tighten as they are engaged for a secure mechanical seal.
Note: The listed tap size refers to the nominal pipe size, not the actual outside diameter measurement of the tap itself. These are typically used with a tap wrench for controlled threading and proper alignment during installation.
Tip: After cutting threads, apply an appropriate sealant such as Teflon tape or pipe thread compound to help ensure a leak-proof seal.
