LH Fractional Plug Tap - 7/16 In - 14 NC - Hanson

The Hanson 2139 Left-Hand Fractional Plug Tap is engineered for professional technicians requiring precision and durability in automotive and industrial applications. This high-speed steel (HSS) tap is designed to cut accurate 7/16 inch - 14 NC left-hand threads, essential for fasteners that demand a counter-clockwise tightening direction. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance for creating or repairing critical left-hand threaded holes.

Key Features

• High-Speed Steel (HSS) Construction: Provides excellent wear resistance and durability for demanding professional use.
• Ground Thread Design: Ensures precise and consistent thread cutting, crucial for secure fastener engagement.
• Left-Hand Rotation: Specifically designed to cut threads with a left-hand turning motion, accommodating specialized applications.
• 7/16 Inch - 14 NC Size: Standardized sizing for common left-hand thread requirements.
• Four Flutes: Offers efficient chip evacuation, reducing clogging and improving thread quality.
• H3 Pitch Diameter Limits: Indicates a tighter tolerance for the thread's pitch diameter, ensuring a proper fit.

Applications

This left-hand tap is indispensable for situations where fasteners must resist loosening under reverse rotation or specific operational dynamics. Common applications include specialized machinery, automotive components (such as certain wheel studs or adjusting screws), and industrial equipment where a left-hand thread prevents inadvertent disassembly or provides a specific rotational function. It is ideal for creating new left-hand threaded holes or accurately rethreading damaged ones in various materials.
