Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30-AGN Titanium Nitride Finish Interrupted Taper NPT Pipe Taps

Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30-AGN Titanium Nitride Interrupted Taper NPT Pipe Taps

Advanced Pipe Threading for High-Efficiency Performance

The Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30-AGN Titanium Nitride Finish Interrupted Taper NPT Pipe Taps are engineered for professionals who require precision, durability, and efficient chip control when threading pipe fittings and couplings. Designed with an interrupted thread geometry and enhanced with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating, these taps deliver superior performance in demanding industrial environments.

Manufactured from premium high-speed steel (HSS), the Type I30-AGN taps are built to withstand continuous use while maintaining consistent thread quality. The TiN coating significantly increases surface hardness and lubricity, reducing wear and extending tool life compared to uncoated pipe taps.

Interrupted Thread Design for Reduced Friction and Better Chip Flow

The interrupted thread profile is the defining feature of the Type I30-AGN series. By breaking up the cutting edges, this design:

• Reduces cutting friction and torque

• Increases chip capacity

• Enhances coolant flow to the cutting edges

• Prevents chip packing and thread galling

This makes these taps especially effective in soft and ductile materials that produce long, stringy chips, where conventional taper pipe taps may struggle or fail prematurely.

Titanium Nitride Coating for Extended Tool Life

The Titanium Nitride finish provides a hard, low-friction surface that allows the tap to run cooler and smoother during operation. This coating improves wear resistance, enhances chip evacuation, and helps maintain sharp cutting edges for longer production runs. The result is cleaner NPT threads, reduced downtime, and improved overall productivity.

Ideal for Versatile Industrial Applications

Norseman Type I30-AGN Interrupted Taper NPT Pipe Taps are recommended for threading aluminum, brass, bronze, copper alloys, mild steel, and other ductile materials. They are widely used in plumbing, HVAC, fabrication, maintenance and repair (MRO), oil and gas support, and general industrial manufacturing.

Precision Threads You Can Rely On

Each tap is precision-ground to produce accurate NPT taper threads that ensure proper sealing and fit in pressure-rated pipe connections. For professionals seeking reduced friction, longer tool life, and dependable threading performance, Norseman Drill & Tool Type I30-AGN Titanium Nitride Interrupted Taper NPT Pipe Taps deliver proven results in challenging applications.
