Pipe tap for 1/8"-27 NPT threads
The Cleveland C56702 cuts internal National Pipe Taper threads in pipe and conduit fittings. Its semi-bottoming design allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes. Four flutes provide stable chip evacuation during the cutting process. The tap is made from High Speed Steel with a TiN coating for wear resistance.
Sustained cutting in pipe and conduit
High Speed Steel construction maintains hardness during extended threading operations. The TiN coating reduces friction and heat buildup when tapping multiple holes in succession. Four flutes distribute cutting forces evenly to prevent premature dulling. Right-hand threading suits standard pipe fitting assembly workflows.
Replaces worn or undersized NPT taps
This tool upgrades from dull taps that produce loose or leaking threads. The 75 percent thread drill size Q ensures proper engagement for pressure-tight joints. It is not suited for straight-thread applications or non-NPT standards. Builders needing larger diameters or different thread forms must select alternative tooling.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the C56702 tap generate when threading 1/8"-27 NPT holes all day?
The high-speed steel body with TiN coating resists heat buildup during repeated 1/8"-27 NPT cuts, so the tool stays cool enough for continuous hand or machine use.
What drill size must I already have to prepare holes for this 1/8"-27 NPT tap?
A size Q drill produces the 75 percent thread depth this tap requires before you start the 3/4-inch thread length cut.
Will the four-flute semi-bottoming design work in shallow holes on older pipe fittings?
Yes, the semi-bottoming chamfer and four flutes let the tap start threads close to the bottom of existing fittings without needing a through-hole.
