Whether you're a professional plumber, mechanic, or DIY enthusiast, this Drill America 12-piece pipe tap and die set is the reliable companion you need for maintaining clean, functional pipe threads. Designed to tackle the most common threading challenges, this comprehensive kit includes everything you need to repair damaged or jammed threads on pipes ranging from 1/8" to 1" in diameter.
These carbon steel pipe taps are engineered with precision to clean and re-thread damaged pipe threads, making them essential for both emergency repairs and routine maintenance. The National Pipe Taper (NPT) design features a 3/4" taper per foot, ensuring proper thread engagement and secure connections that won't leak. Each tap comes with a 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 thread chamfer, making threading smoother and reducing the risk of cross-threading during installation.
The set includes both pipe taps and hex dies, giving you a complete thread repair system. While the taps create new threads in damaged pipe fittings, the hex dies are perfect for restoring bruised or rusty threads on pipe ends. This dual functionality makes the kit incredibly versatile for various maintenance scenarios. Remember that NPT threads require the use of a sealer like Teflon tape or pipe compound to ensure leak-free connections.
The sturdy wooden case keeps all your tools neatly organized and protected from damage, so you can grab exactly what you need without digging through a cluttered toolbox. The compact design makes it easy to store in your workshop or toss in your service vehicle for on-the-job repairs. Whether you're working in a busy shop or out in the field, this set delivers consistent performance job after job.
