Tap FANAR G 1/4" DIN-5156B HSSE TN 800X — thread cutting tap G 1/4"

FANAR GWINTOWNIK G 1/4" DIN-5156B HSSE TN 800X — thread cutting tap G 1/4" is a G 1/4" pipe thread cutting tap produced to DIN-5156B standard. Made from HSSE (high-speed steel with cobalt) and finished with a TN 800X coating, this tap is designed for cutting and repairing G 1/4" threads in metal components. It is suitable for workshop and industrial environments where a durable, coated tap is required to deliver consistent thread geometry and reliable performance.

Advantages

The HSSE material provides increased red-hardness and wear resistance compared with standard high-speed steel, supporting extended tool life under elevated cutting temperatures. The TN 800X coating reduces friction and improves chip evacuation while offering additional surface hardness and corrosion resistance. Conformance to DIN-5156B ensures the thread form and dimensions are compatible with standard G 1/4" pipe fittings and accessories.

Suitable for

• Cutting new G 1/4" pipe threads in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Repairing damaged or worn G 1/4" threads on components and fittings
• Workshop and industrial tapping operations requiring coated, durable tools
• Applications where consistent thread geometry and surface finish are important

Key specifications

• Thread type: G (BSP parallel) 1/4" according to DIN-5156B
• Material: HSSE (high-speed steel with cobalt)
• Surface finish: TN 800X coating for reduced friction and increased wear resistance
• Intended use: cutting and repairing pipe threads in metal components
• Typical environment: workshop and industrial use

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure the hole or thread lead is prepared to the recommended pilot size for a G 1/4" tap. Use appropriate tapping fluid or lubricant to reduce cutting forces and extend tool life. Start the tap perpendicular to the workpiece and apply steady, controlled torque while advancing. Clear chips frequently by reversing the tap periodically or using chip removal procedures appropriate for the material. Inspect the finished thread for correct engagement and surface quality.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable cutting fluid for the material being tapped and monitor tool wear; replace the tap when thread quality degrades. For best results in harder materials, use slow to moderate cutting speeds and avoid excessive axial force. Store the tap in a dry, protected location to preserve the coating and cutting edges.
