Cleveland M16-2.00 Straight Flute Hand Tap

The Cleveland C54801 is a straight-flute hand tap designed for cutting M16 threads with a 2.00 mm pitch. It is intended for manual threading operations in maintenance, repair or light production work where a powered tapper is not used.

Capacity and headroom: M16 metric thread

The tap cuts a 6H class of fit using a 75 percent thread drill size of 14.00 mm. Its thread length is 46.04 mm and overall length is 96.84 mm, providing reach for through-holes or blind holes of moderate depth. High-speed steel construction resists wear in carbon steel and similar materials, but the uncoated bright finish and straight-flute geometry limit chip evacuation in deep or abrasive work.

Build fit: right-hand taper tap for manual use

The right-hand taper lead starts threads easily when turned by hand with a suitable tap wrench. No coating means lubricant choice is left to the operator. The tap does not suit high-volume CNC tapping, spiral-point or spiral-flute chip management, or left-hand thread requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the M16-2.00 tap work with my existing 14.00 mm drill bit for the 75 percent thread?

Yes, the 75 percent thread drill size is specified as 14.00 mm, so your existing bit matches the requirement for this M16x2 tap.

How can I confirm the C54801 tap is cutting correctly after starting the hole?

Check that the straight flute tap produces clean, continuous chips and that the thread gauge verifies a 6H class of fit on the M16x2 threads.

Does the C54801 come with a handle or wrench, or must I buy one separately?

The tap is supplied as a single High Speed Steel cutting tool with a 96.84 mm overall length; a tap wrench or handle is not included and must be purchased separately.
