Goliath BSPF Taper HSS Bright Pipe Tap

HSS Bright Finish BSPF Hand and Machine Taper Tap.
Pipe taps are much shorter than a similar size of regular hand taps, but the design features are the same.
Goliath HSS taps provide a high hardness-to-toughness ratio, compressive and tensile strength, good abrasion resistance, and resistance to micro-chipping, ensuring a long tool life.
British Standard Pipe - G Series (BSPF) is a pipe thread that is used mainly for mechanical coupling.
The angle of thread is mainly 55° however for the US method some threads have a 60° angle.
