Details
Want to make your own custom G1/4" threaded port, or does a G1/4" port need to be re-threaded? This industrial high-speed steel thread tap cuts the 1/4"-19 BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) thread, which is the G1/4" thread used on PC water cooling components. It has a right-handed thread direction and an overall length of 2-7/16".

Cut your own G1/4" ports
With this tap you can add a G1/4" port to a reservoir, a block, a distribution plate or any custom water cooling part, so standard fittings screw straight in. It also cleans up and re-cuts a damaged G1/4" thread.
1/4"-19 BSPP is G1/4"
G1/4" and 1/4" BSPP describe the same parallel pipe thread with 19 threads per inch. That is the thread on almost every fitting, radiator, block and reservoir in PC water cooling.
Drill first, then tap
Drill the hole with an 11.8 mm drill, the recommended drill size for this tap. Then hold the tap in a tap wrench by its square end, start it straight into the hole and turn it clockwise.
High-speed steel
The tap is made of industrial high-speed steel, so it keeps its cutting edges through many threads.
