Thread-cutting tool for UNF holes

The Cleveland 54892 is a straight-flute hand tap made from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. It cuts right-hand 7/8"-14 UNF threads in a single pass and is intended for general-purpose threading in through or blind holes where machine tapping is not available.

H4 thread limit for Class 2B fit

The tap is manufactured to an H4 thread limit, which matches a Class 2B internal thread tolerance. This specification determines whether the finished hole will accept standard UNF fasteners without binding or excessive play, making it the critical figure to verify against the drawing or fit requirement.

Thread length 2.22 in with 75 % drill size 20.40 mm

The 2.22 in thread length provides enough engagement for typical fastener lengths in this diameter, while the recommended 75 % thread drill size of 20.40 mm leaves sufficient material for thread strength. Deeper holes or harder materials may exceed the practical reach of a hand tap and require a longer or machine-specific tool.
