RS PRO Threading Tap, 7/16-20 Thread, UNF Standard, Hand Tap

You can use this RS PRO threading tap to tap screw threads. The tap is a standard straight flute type, which means you can use it in a variety of tapping applications.
The product is made from high-speed steel (HSS), which assures you that it's resistant to wearing and high temperatures. The thread is of a unified fine (UNF) standard, so you can be sure it will create standardised threads.
Tap threads like this one are used to create the female portion of a mating pair such as a nut, that would then hold a male fastener such as a threaded bolt. It's been handled and packed in compliance with international (ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014) and British (British Standard EN 61340-5-1:2007) electrostatic control standards, so you can be sure the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) is minimised.
