Cleveland C64098 Pipe Tap

The Cleveland C64098 is a new high-speed steel pipe tap with a 1/8"-27 thread size. It features a semi-bottoming chamfer and five flutes for threading pipe connections. The bright finish provides a clean, uncoated surface. This tool is intended for machinists and maintenance technicians cutting internal threads in pipe fittings.

Installation notes

Starting the tap straight is critical because the semi-bottoming chamfer offers less lead-in than a taper style. Use a proper tap wrench and apply steady pressure with cutting fluid to prevent binding. The five-flute design helps chip evacuation but can clog in deeper holes if chips are not cleared regularly. Misalignment during the first few turns often results in damaged threads or a broken tap.

Thread specification

The decisive specification is the 1/8"-27 thread size, which follows the National Pipe Taper standard. This tap only produces threads matching that exact diameter and pitch. It will not fit larger or smaller pipe sizes, nor will it work for straight-thread applications. Buyers needing different thread dimensions or a taper chamfer for easier starting must select another tool.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 1/8"-27 HSS tap cuts clean threads after setup?

Run the tap through a matching 1/8"-27 hole; the five-flute semi-bottoming design should produce full-depth threads with a bright finish and no chatter.

What comes in the box with the Cleveland C64098 tap and what must I supply?

The package contains the single HSS bright-finish tap; you will need a suitable tap wrench or holder and cutting fluid for the job.

When should I choose the 1/8"-27 size over other thread options?

Select this tap when the specification calls for a 1/8 inch nominal pipe thread with 27 threads per inch — the exact size stamped on the C64098.
