HSS NPS 1/8″ Bottom Tap – Somta Series 581
The SOMTA 5810323 – HSS NPS 1/8″ Bottom Tap is a precision pipe thread tap designed for internal threading of straight (parallel) pipe threads to ANSI NPS standards. Made from tough High-Speed Steel (HSS), this bottoming tap features a short chamfer to allow full thread cutting close to the bottom of blind holes. It’s ideal for producing tight-fitting parallel threads in non-pressurized pipe or conduit applications, such as electrical fittings, low-pressure systems, and mechanical assemblies.
