The Bordo 3/8" x 18 NPT Bottoming HSS Tap is a professional-grade pipe threading tool designed for producing accurate National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads in workshop and on-site applications. Built for reliability and precision, this tap is ideal for creating strong, pressure-tight threaded connections in mechanical, hydraulic and general pipework systems.
Manufactured from premium High Speed Steel (HSS), this tap delivers excellent wear resistance, heat tolerance and long service life under demanding trade conditions. The bottoming lead allows threads to be cut closer to the base of blind holes, making it ideal for repair work, component manufacturing and applications where maximum thread depth is required. The 3/8" x 18 NPT size is commonly used across plumbing, air lines, fuel systems and industrial fittings.
Bordo is trusted throughout Australia for dependable industrial cutting and threading tools that meet trade expectations. Industrial Shed stocks essential NPT sizes like this to keep workshops and job sites running efficiently.
