Several vacuum press builders have asked me to add a pipe tap to the catalog of parts needed for the kits I offer. They are the best pipe taps I could find for the money. These taps have the correct thread configuration for the brass fittings sold on our website. They easily create threads in the PVC caps on the vacuum press kits and vacuum clamping jigs.
Be sure to select the appropriate size option!
Note that pipe tap sizes do not refer to diameter.
| Pipe Tap Size | Actual O.D. | Pre-Drill Size | Used For |
| 1/4" - 18 NPT | .54" | 7/16" | Vacuum Press Reservoirs |
| 1/8" - 27 NPT | .405 | 11/32" | Vacuum Clamping Jigs |
