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

To thread inside a stainless reducer pipe.

Worked perfectly except that square end is larger than you might imagine. I had to use a socket to drive it into the pipe fitting.

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.

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.

Had a few fittings where the threads needed cleaned up and this did the job perfectly.

I used it to clean up the threads in my camper hot water heater anode rod hole. The threads had become so crusted with mineral deposits that the new anode rod would not thread in far enough and would seep whenever there was pressure in the tank. After using this tap to clean up the threads, the new rod sealed perfectly.

Used to chase threads.

Worked well and great value.

No issues with ordering, delivery or packaging. This tool works as expected.

I figured for the price I’d get what I paid for, but the quality was on par with the best tools of this type that I have ever owned!
