Emkay Fractional Long Shank Hand Tap (UNC/ UNF/ BSW/ BSF)

Features of Emkay Fractional Long Shank Hand Tap (UNC / UNF / BSW / BSF)

1. Extended Shank Length – Designed with a longer reach for tapping deep or hard-to-access holes.

2. High-Speed Steel (HSS) Material – Ensures excellent hardness, durability, and wear resistance for industrial use.

3. Supports Multiple Thread Forms – Available in UNC (Unified Coarse), UNF (Unified Fine), BSW (British Standard Whitworth), and BSF (British Standard Fine).

4. Fractional (Inch-Based) Sizes – Manufactured in imperial measurements to suit a wide range of applications.

5. Precision Ground Threads – Delivers accurate and clean thread cutting with smooth entry and reduced friction.

6. BS-949 Standard Compliance – Adheres to British Standard BS-949, ensuring quality and dimensional consistency.

7. Manual and Machine Compatible – Suitable for hand tapping as well as machine operations.

8. Ideal for Deep Threading Jobs – Perfect for use in pipe fittings, castings, and components with recessed threading zones.

9. Corrosion-Resistant Finish – Treated for surface protection and longevity in various environments.

10. Versatile Application – Effective on steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, and other machinable metals.

Applications For uses : 

1. Deep Hole Threading – Ideal for tapping threads in deep or recessed holes where standard taps can’t reach.

2. Automotive & Aerospace Maintenance – Used for threading components in hard-to-reach areas, such as engine blocks or casings.

3. Industrial Fabrication – Suitable for custom fabrication and assembly where extended reach tapping is needed.

4. Pipe and Fitting Manufacturing – Enables threading in pipe bores, flanges, and tubing with internal threading needs.

5. Maintenance & Repair Operations (MRO) – Perfect for repairing worn-out threads deep inside machinery or assemblies.

6. Construction and Structural Assembly – Used for tapping in thick beams, plates, or frames requiring long-thread engagement.

7. Marine and Railways Sector – Supports maintenance of inch-based threaded parts in marine and locomotive systems.

8. Precision Engineering Workshops – Preferred for custom jobs or prototype builds that demand accuracy and extended reach.

9. Metalworking and Tool Rooms – Commonly used in tool & die setups for creating or restoring threads.

10. Technical Education & Training – Helpful in teaching thread cutting techniques, especially in non-standard applications.
