Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30 Bright Finish Interrupted Taper Pipe Taps

Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30 Bright Finish Interrupted Taper Pipe Taps

High-Efficiency NPT Threading for Ductile and Stringy Materials

The Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30 Bright Finish Interrupted Taper Pipe Taps are precision-engineered for smooth, efficient cutting of National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads across a wide range of materials. Designed with an interrupted thread profile and a clean bright finish, these taps are ideal for professional machinists, maintenance teams, and fabricators who demand reliable performance and excellent chip control.

Manufactured from high-quality high-speed steel (HSS), Type I30 taps deliver the strength, toughness, and dimensional accuracy required for consistent pipe threading in industrial environments.

Interrupted Thread Design for Superior Chip Control

The interrupted thread geometry is the defining feature of the Type I30 series. By strategically removing sections of the cutting threads, these taps provide several performance advantages:

• Reduced cutting friction and torque

• Increased chip capacity for improved chip evacuation

• Enhanced coolant flow to the cutting edges

• Lower risk of chip packing and tool binding

This design makes the Type I30 especially effective in soft and ductile materials that produce long, stringy chips, where standard taper pipe taps often struggle.

Bright Finish for Clean, Accurate Threads

The bright finish offers a smooth cutting surface with minimal coating interference, allowing for precise thread formation and excellent surface finish. This finish is well suited for general-purpose threading applications and materials such as aluminum, brass, bronze, mild steel, and other non-abrasive alloys. It also allows operators to closely monitor cutting action and tool wear during use.

Ideal for Industrial and MRO Applications

Norseman Type I30 Bright Finish Interrupted Taper Pipe Taps are commonly used for threading pipe fittings and couplings in plumbing, HVAC, fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance operations. Their efficient cutting action reduces operator fatigue, improves productivity, and helps extend tool life.

Consistent NPT Threads You Can Trust

Each Type I30 tap is precision-ground to produce accurate NPT taper threads that ensure proper fit and sealing in pipe connections. For applications requiring reduced torque, excellent chip control, and dependable performance across a variety of materials, Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30 Bright Finish Interrupted Taper Pipe Taps deliver professional-grade results every time.
