Cleveland C64037 NPT Pipe Tap
The Cleveland C64037 is a high-speed steel pipe tap designed to cut 1/8"-27 NPT threads. Its semi-bottoming chamfer and four-flute geometry suit maintenance technicians and machinists creating or repairing tapered pipe connections in workshop or field environments.
Semi-bottoming chamfer for deeper thread engagement
Unlike a standard taper tap, the semi-bottoming design starts cutting closer to the bottom of a blind hole, reducing the need for multiple tools. The 75 percent thread drill size Q recommendation supports accurate hole preparation before the upgrade to this tap is made.
Suits right-hand NPT threading in steel and iron
This tap serves plumbers and mechanics cutting standard tapered pipe threads by hand or machine. It is not intended for straight-thread applications, metric sizes, or high-volume CNC production where coated or carbide tooling would be preferred.

Questions about this item
What size hole do I need to drill before tapping with the 1/8"-27 NPT pipe tap?
Drill a 75 percent thread hole using drill size Q to prepare for the 1/8"-27 NPT threads.
How do I start the semi-bottoming tap correctly in the drilled hole?
Apply cutting fluid, align the tap squarely with the hole, and turn the 4-flute tap clockwise with steady pressure to cut the NPT threads.
When should I replace the high-speed steel tap?
Replace the tap when the 4 flutes become dull, chipped, or no longer cut clean 1/8"-27 NPT threads in the workpiece.
