Pipe tap
« on: August 08, 2011, 03:28:08 PM »
I need to tap a hole in some aluminum with a pipe tap.. How far in do you need to run the tap to have good threads?

Thank you for the help

John,

Is this a straight or taper thread? Is it just mechanical or to seal?

It's a tapered 1/2 x 14 pipe tap. It needs to seal.
