Cleveland M16-2.00 Plug Tap
The Cleveland C54802 is a straight flute hand tap designed for cutting M16x2 metric threads in through-holes. It suits maintenance technicians and metalworkers who need to create new internal threads or repair damaged ones in steel and similar materials.
High Speed Steel Construction
Made from uncoated high speed steel, the tap resists wear during repeated manual or machine tapping operations. The 46.04 mm thread length and D7 thread limit produce a 6H class of fit when used with the recommended 14.00 mm drill size.
Four Flute Plug Design
The plug chamfer and four straight flutes help start threads squarely and evacuate chips in through-hole applications. Bright finish requires cutting fluid to prevent galling; incorrect drill size or misalignment are the most common causes of tap breakage.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the M16-2.00 tap generate when used continuously in high-speed steel?
The tap is made from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish; heat build-up depends on cutting speed, lubrication and workpiece material rather than a fixed rating.
What drill size must I already have to prepare a hole for the M16-2.00 plug tap?
A 14.00 mm drill is specified for the 75 percent thread depth required by this M16-2.00 tap.
Will the 96.84 mm overall length and D7 thread limit fit the same holders and gauges as my older M16 taps?
The tap follows a 6H class of fit with a D7 limit and 96.84 mm overall length, matching standard M16-2.00 dimensions for existing tooling.
