Westward 1/8"-27 NPT Pipe Tap

This Westward pipe tap cuts internal NPT threads in pipe and conduit. The carbon steel construction provides strength for threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a taper design with four flutes for efficient chip evacuation. The tool is supplied in new condition.

Requires matching drill size for 75 percent thread

The tap creates threads with a 3/4 inch thread length and an overall length of 2 1/8 inches. A drill size Q is needed to prepare the hole before tapping. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard pipe threading operations. The bright uncoated finish is ready for use with cutting fluid.

Suits plumbers and maintenance technicians cutting

This tap is not intended for metric or straight thread applications. Users requiring different thread sizes, flute counts, or coated finishes should select an alternative tool. The specific 1/8"-27 NPT specification limits use to that standard only.

Questions about this item

How deep can the 1/8"-27 NPT threads be cut in a single pass?

The thread length is 3/4 in, so threads up to that depth can be cut in one pass with the 4-flute carbon-steel tap.

Does the carbon-steel tap generate excessive heat during all-day threading?

Carbon steel conducts heat well; using cutting fluid keeps the 1/8"-27 NPT tap cool enough for continuous daily use.

What drill size must I already have to prepare the hole for this tap?

A 75 percent thread drill size Q is required before starting the 1/8"-27 NPT threading operation.
