Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WIDIA GTD pipe and conduit thread tap used for?
This WIDIA GTD interrupted-thread tap is designed for threading pipe and conduit in aluminum. It creates NPTF threads (1/8"-27) for leak-resistant joints in pneumatic, hydraulic, and plumbing systems. The plug chamfer and 5-flute design help clear chips in softer materials.
What are the specifications of the WIDIA GTD 16103 tap?
The WIDIA GTD 16103 is a 1/8"-27 NPTF interrupted-thread pipe tap with H3 / 3B tolerance, 5 flutes, and a plug chamfer. It is designed for threading aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. The interrupted-thread geometry reduces torque and improves chip evacuation.
