02C020 - Walter 1/8-Inch NPT Carbon Steel Threading Tap

Precision Threading with Walter Carbon Pipe Taps

The Walter 1/8" NPT Carbon Pipe Tap (SKU: 02C020) is a premium threading tool designed for industrial professionals who demand accuracy and durability. Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in metalworking solutions, this tap is engineered from high-grade carbon alloy tool steel. This material selection ensures that the tool maintains its cutting edge longer, even when used on tough materials like stainless steel and mild steel.

Whether you are fabricating new pipe assemblies or performing maintenance on existing infrastructure, this tap is versatile enough to handle the job. It is specifically designed to cut internal threads for pipe fittings, adhering to the National Pipe Taper (NPT) standard. The tapered design creates a tight seal essential for fluid and gas transport systems. The tap undergoes a rigorous hardening and tempering process, which imparts the necessary toughness to resist breakage under torque while maintaining sufficient hardness to cut effectively.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of reliable tools in MRO environments. This Walter tap features precision-ground threads that reduce friction during the cutting process, resulting in cleaner threads and less wear on the tool. It is an essential addition to any machinist's or pipefitter's toolkit, capable of working with both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including aluminum.

Key Applications

• Creating new internal threads in pipe couplings and fittings.
• Repairing or chasing damaged threads in maintenance scenarios.
• Machining threads in mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum components.
