The Bordo 1/8" x 28 BSPF Taper HSS Tap is a precision threading tool engineered to start and cut British Standard Pipe Fine (BSPF) internal threads with smooth, accurate engagement. Part of Bordo’s trusted HSS tapping range for pipe threads, this taper tap is designed for general workshop, fabrication and industrial use, where clean, reliable BSPF thread creation is essential for mechanical couplings and threaded connections.

Manufactured from premium High Speed Steel (HSS), this BSPF taper tap features a long lead-in — typically eight threads — which makes it easier to start threading, reduces cutting resistance and helps ensure alignment in the hole before deeper threading. The 1/8" diameter and 28 threads per inch (TPI) BSPF thread form is widely used in plumbing, hydraulic and pneumatic assemblies that require parallel pipe threads specified under JIS/ISO R228 standards. Designed for hand or general machine tapping in medium tensile materials, this tool is a reliable first-stage tap for precision pipe-thread work.
