B-KIDS TAP G 1 DIN-5156C R40 HSSE 800 Pipe Thread Tap

With a 40 mm thread length and 4 straight flutes, this cobalt-enriched HSSE pipe thread tap cuts clean, accurate G 1 (BSPP) threads in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. The C-type chamfer (2–3 threads lead) suits both through-hole and blind-hole tapping, while the uncoated surface allows easy re-sharpening for extended service life.

Overview

The B-KIDS TAP G 1 DIN-5156C R40 HSSE 800 is a professional-grade machine tap engineered for cutting BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) threads to DIN 5156 / ISO 228-1 standards. Its 1-inch nominal size, 11 TPI pitch, and C-type chamfer make it ideal for pipe fittings, hydraulic components, and general engineering applications. The tap features a straight flute design for efficient chip evacuation and a right-hand cutting direction for standard machine tapping operations.

What stands out

• Cobalt-enriched HSSE steel for superior heat resistance and wear life, even in tough materials.
• 4-flute geometry balances chip removal and cutting stability for consistent thread quality.
• Uncoated surface allows easy re-sharpening, extending tool service life.
• Precision-ground threads ensure accurate pitch diameter and smooth thread finish.
• Robust 25 mm shank diameter and 20 mm square drive for secure tool holding.
