Product Information

Full details

The OKODOKO BSP Pipe Tap Set is a professional-grade tool collection designed for plumbers, mechanics, and metalworkers who require precision threading for pipe installations and repairs. Featuring five essential sizes, this set excels at creating clean, consistent internal threads in metal components, though it is specifically intended for use with compatible BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads rather than standard machine screws.

FAQs

Are these taps compatible with NPT threads?

No, these are specifically designed for BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads and will not provide a proper seal for NPT threaded components.

Is a tap wrench included in the case?

The set includes the 5 taps and a storage case; a manual tap wrench is not included.

Can I use these taps with a power drill?

These taps are intended for manual operation using a T-handle or tap wrench. Using them with a power drill may cause the tap to snap if it binds.

How do I maintain the cutting edges?

Always use cutting fluid, avoid forcing the tap, and store them securely in the case so the teeth do not rub against other metal tools.

What material can these taps thread?

They are designed for standard metalwork, including mild steel, aluminum, and brass.

Troubleshooting

Tap is difficult to turn or binds

Back the tap out by half a turn to break the metal chip, apply more cutting oil, and clear the hole of debris.

Thread appears uneven or loose

Ensure the tap was held perfectly square to the workpiece surface during the initial engagement.

Visible surface rust on the tap

Scrub the area gently with a fine wire brush or steel wool, then apply a protective layer of machine oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide range of standard BSP pipe sizes
  • High-quality wear-resistant build
  • Durable, easy-to-locate storage case
  • Consistent and reliable thread cutting

Cons

  • Not suitable for standard metric or imperial machine screw threads
  • Requires manual tap wrench which is not included
  • Steel construction requires proper maintenance to avoid oxidation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct diameter recommended for the specific tap size being used. Use a T-handle or tap wrench to maintain a perfectly perpendicular angle to the workpiece, as angling the tap can lead to off-center threads.

Compatibility is strictly limited to BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread specifications; do not attempt to use these on tapered NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads as the profiles will not match. After use, clean all metal swarf from the grooves using a soft brush. Before placing the taps back into the provided red case, apply a light coat of machine oil to the threads to protect the alloy from moisture and prevent corrosion.
