M16-2.00 Straight Flute Hand Tap

The Cleveland C54804 is a straight-flute hand tap for cutting M16 threads with a 2.00 mm pitch. It comes as a three-piece kit suitable for general-purpose threading work in a workshop or maintenance setting.

Thread standard Metric class 6H

The tap conforms to a Metric thread standard with a 6H class of fit and a D7 thread limit. This single specification determines whether the finished thread meets the required tolerance for the application.

Requires 14.00 mm drill for 75 percent thread

A 14.00 mm drill produces the recommended 75 percent thread engagement before tapping. The 1 13/16 inch thread length and 3 13/16 inch overall length fit standard tap handles and allow through-hole or blind-hole use.

Questions about this item

What does the M16-2.00 thread size mean for the holes I need to tap?

The tap cuts a metric M16 thread with a 2.00 mm pitch, producing a 6H class fit when used with a 14.00 mm drill for 75 percent thread engagement.

How does the straight flute design affect chip removal in different materials?

Straight flutes suit hand tapping in short-chipping materials such as cast iron or brass; they do not pull chips forward like spiral flutes, so frequent reversal clears swarf.

What are the overall and thread lengths, and will the tap fit my tap wrench?

Overall length is 3 13/16 in with a 1 13/16 in thread length; the square shank fits standard tap wrenches for M16 hand taps.
