QWORK 1/2 - 14 NPT Pipe Tap, Carbon Steel, for Clean and Re-thread Damaged or Jam Pipe Threads

I bought this tap for a old water line repair I have to make and this tap may save me some time and money. Thanks Amazon.

The markings on this tap are not deeply engraved so one must be very careful not to make a mistake.

I had never used a tap before, so I wasnt sure what to expect. The tap was scary sharp, strong, and of good quality. Even though Id never done it before, using this tap I successfully cleaned the threads on an old elbow fitting for a tub spout - first try. I recommend this product.

To thread inside a stainless reducer pipe.

Used to chase threads.

I used a 13/16 spark plug socket to hold the tap. Cleaned up RV water heater anode rod hole quickly with some cutting oil.

Good value for the money

Does what it supposed to do.

Nice quality at a very good price.

First, used wire brush to remove soft/loose material. Then, used butt tap to clean and dress threads on natural gasline tee before installing new quick connect for portable generator. Yellow gas pipe tape used in new assembly with no leaks after initial install. All work done with permits and inspection.
