Cleveland C54848 Straight Flute Hand Tap
The Cleveland C54848 is a straight flute hand tap designed to cut internal threads in a through-hole or blind-hole application. It suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need to produce a 3/4"-16 UNF thread using a manual wrench or tap handle.
UNF thread standard and H3 class of fit
This tap follows the Unified National Fine standard with a 16 threads-per-inch pitch and a 2B class of fit. The H3 thread limit controls the pitch-diameter tolerance, so the finished thread meets the specified allowance for general-purpose fastening without additional adjustment.
Installation uses a 17.50 mm drill
A 17.50 mm drill creates the 75 percent thread depth required before tapping. The bottoming chamfer with a short lead demands careful alignment to avoid cross-threading, and the uncoated high-speed steel cutting edges require cutting fluid to prevent premature wear in harder materials.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the H3 limit or a different thread limit for this 3/4"-16 UNF tap?
The H3 limit is the only thread limit offered on this Cleveland C54848 tap, so it is the one to select for a 3/4"-16 UNF bottoming job.
What does the 75 percent thread drill size mean when I am tapping a hole?
It means you should drill the hole with a 17.50 mm drill bit before using this tap to produce a 75 percent thread engagement.
How does the UNF standard affect the thread pitch on this 3/4"-16 tap?
UNF fixes the pitch at 16 threads per inch, so this tap will cut 16 threads per inch on a 3/4 inch diameter.
