Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30-AG Gold Oxide Finish Interrupted Taper NPT Pipe Taps

Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30-AG Gold Oxide Interrupted Taper NPT Pipe Taps

High-Performance Pipe Threading for Demanding Applications

The Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30-AG Gold Oxide Interrupted Taper NPT Pipe Taps are engineered for efficient, accurate pipe threading in challenging materials and production environments. Designed with an interrupted thread profile, these NPT pipe taps significantly reduce cutting friction while improving chip control, making them an excellent choice for professionals who demand reliability and smooth performance.

Manufactured from high-quality high-speed steel (HSS) and finished with a gold oxide coating, the Type I30-AG taps offer enhanced lubricity and surface toughness. This low-temperature stress-relief finish reduces galling, minimizes heat buildup, and improves overall tool life—especially in continuous or high-volume tapping operations.

Interrupted Thread Design for Superior Chip Control

The interrupted thread geometry is the defining feature of the Type I30-AG series. By breaking up the cutting edges, these taps:

• Reduce cutting torque and friction

• Increase chip capacity

• Enhance coolant flow to the cutting zone

• Prevent chip packing and thread damage

This design is especially effective when working with soft, ductile materials that produce long, stringy chips, where standard pipe taps may struggle.

Ideal for a Wide Range of Materials and Industries

Norseman Type I30-AG Interrupted Taper NPT Pipe Taps are recommended for tapping pipe fittings and couplings in materials such as aluminum, brass, bronze, mild steel, copper alloys, and other ductile metals. They are widely used in plumbing, HVAC, fabrication, maintenance and repair (MRO), oil and gas support operations, and general industrial manufacturing.

Built for Accuracy, Durability, and Consistent Threads

Each tap is precision-ground to produce accurate NPT taper pipe threads, ensuring proper sealing and fit in pressure-rated pipe connections. With their combination of advanced geometry and gold oxide finish, Norseman Type I30-AG taps deliver smoother threading, reduced tool wear, and dependable results job after job.

For professionals seeking efficient chip evacuation, longer tool life, and high-quality pipe threads, Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30-AG Gold Oxide Interrupted Taper NPT Pipe Taps are a proven, high-performance solution.
