The taps feature a specially engineered shortened projection length when compared to traditional ANSI standard taper taps, decreasing cycle time
and increasing tool life, while meeting all industry-standard requirements for gaging. The new taps are stocked in the U.S.

"We are pleased to offer energy manufacturers a versatile pipe tapping solution designed to meet and exceed even the most difficult applications for the oil, gas, and petrochemical manufacturing sectors," said Dylan Bowles, product director, EMUGE-FRANKEN USA.

The new taps are also well-suited for food and dairy equipment, high-pressure pipe delivery systems, valves, and fire suppression systems. The MultiTAP line of NPT/ NPFT Pipe Taps offers an interrupted skip tooth thread profile that helps to reduce cutting forces and chip clogging. The new taps feature a premium HSSE base tool substrate and a proprietary TICN-PVD coating to extend tool life. The pipe taps are designed with a C-style semi-bottoming chamfer length of 2-3 teeth, as well as an enhanced flute helix angle to meet the needs of NPT (Right Hand 35° helix) and NPTF (Right Hand 15° helix) thread profiles.
