About this item:

• PG 9 Bottoming HSS Tap - Goliath
• HSS Bright Finish PG Hand and Machine Bottoming Tap.
• HSS Straight Flute Short Machine and Hand Taps.
• These general purpose taps are ideal for creating new threads in a wide variety of materials.
• Goliath HSS taps provide a high hardness to toughness ratio, compressive and tensile strength, good abrasion resistance and resistance to micro-chipping, ensuring a long tool life.Panzerrohr-Gewinde thread form was developed in Germany for joining electrical conduit and cable glands.
• Because the conduit walls are thin, obtaining a satisfactory thread depth was a problem.
• For this reason the PG thread form has a thread angle of 80°.
• The number shown as part of the size identification for the PG thread form denotes the maximum cable diameter in millimetres that can be passed through the conduit.
• Bottoming Taps have a lead of two threads and are used to ensure minimum thread run-out when tapping to the bottom of a blind hole.
• Bottoming Taps are typically preceded by the use of a Taper or Intermediate Tap.
• Manufactured from HSS this general purpose tap is designed for use in medium tensile materials and is for hand or general machine use.
