Tapping lubricants are high quality petroleum based machining lubricant. It is specifically designed for aluminum and other soft metals. It is a high performance cutting fluid that will not stain and darken such metals during machining processes. It reduces friction at point of contact by depositing a protective oily film, which clings to machine tools. Excellent dimensional control and smooth thread finish are achieved as tools and parts are kept cool and well lubricated.

Tapping saddle is a fitting engineered for use above or below ground for the transfer of fluids that includes water, chemicals or slurries, frequently encountered in the utilities, mining or irrigation industries.

Tapping screws has a straight slot, Philips head, or a straight slot and hex head. To use a tapping screw, drill a hole into the sheet metal the approximate size of the root diameter of the thread. Then turn the screw into the hole with a conventional screwdriver or electric drill with screwdriver bit. These screws are often called as self-drilling screw that can be turned into sheet metal with an electric drill. These screws have a special point used to start the hole. It can be used with light to medium gauges of sheet metal. These screws are available as a washer-screw assembly, which may include rubber grommets for corrosion and moisture protection when fastening metal cladding. These screws are threaded full length. The vast majority of tapping screws are steel but non-ferrous materials such as brass, copper, and aluminum may be obtained as well as stainless steel.

Tapping Valves are used to isolate main line media, while the main line is tapped mechanically. Tapping valves are installed using a variety of techniques such as hot tapping, wet tapping, line stopping and pipe freezing. Tapping valves are used to install other system valves such as a ball or gate valve into an existing main or pipeline.
