Goliath BSPF Intermediate HSS Bright Pipe Tap

HSS Bright Finish BSPF Hand and Machine Intermediate Tap.
Pipe taps are much shorter than a similar size of regular hand tap, but the design features are the same.
Goliath HSS taps provide a high hardness to toughness ratio, compressive and tensile strength, good abrasion resistance, and resistance to micro-chipping, ensuring a long tool life.
British Standard Pipe - G Series (BSPF) is a pipe thread which is used mainly for mechanical coupling.
The angle of thread is mainly 55° however for the US method some threads have a 60° angle.
It is specified according to JIS and ISO R228.
Intermediate Taps have a lead of four threads and are used in most general-purpose applications to cut a thread true to a pre-drilled pilot hole.
Manufactured from HSS this general-purpose tap is designed for use in medium tensile materials and is for hand or general machine use.
