The Contender 212760 taper pipe tap is a 4-flute high-speed steel tool designed to cut internal 1/4-18 NPT taper pipe threads, with a 6-inch overall length. It creates 1/4-18 NPT threads in metal for standard pipe connections. The HSS construction provides wear resistance for tapping tasks, and the 4-flute geometry is typical for taper taps, supporting accurate thread formation in metalworking applications.
