Cleveland C64036 Pipe Tap 1/16-27 NPT
This Cleveland pipe tap cuts National Pipe Taper threads in pipe and conduit fittings. The 1/16-27 thread size suits small-bore plumbing and pneumatic connections. High-speed steel construction provides durability for general-purpose threading tasks. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Check thread size and drill requirement
Verify that the workpiece requires a 1/16-27 NPT thread before ordering. The tap uses a 75 percent thread drill size designated as letter C for proper hole preparation. Ensure your tool holder accommodates a right-hand cutting direction. The semi-bottoming chamfer design requires sufficient clearance at the bottom of blind holes.
Replaces worn or missing 1/16-27 NPT taps
This tap replaces a dull or damaged 1/16-27 NPT threading tool in a maintenance kit. The four-flute design offers improved chip evacuation over taps with fewer flutes. Upgrading from a two-flute tap reduces thread tearing in ductile materials. The jump is worth it when thread quality and tool life are priorities for repetitive pipe work.

Questions about this item
Does the Cleveland C64036 pipe tap come with a drill bit or must I buy the size C drill separately?
The tap requires a 75 percent thread drill size C which is not included and must be purchased separately.
Why choose the 4-flute version of the 1/16-27 NPT tap over a 2- or 3-flute design?
Four flutes give smoother cutting and better chip evacuation in the 11/16 in thread length of this semi-bottoming tap.
What does the 27 threads-per-inch figure mean when I cut threads in a real pipe?
It produces a 1/16-27 NPT taper thread with a 75 percent thread depth using the specified drill size.
