| NPTF EXTERNAL THREAD | Remarks 4. When applying taper bored hole, by referring to values | TAPS |
shown in columns 5, 6 and 8, 9, prepare the taper hole by using pipe reamer (1/16 taper). By referring to values in shown column !, select the drill diameter before reaming by taking reamer’s margin into account.
Remarks 5. When preparing straight bored hole, by referring to values shown in column !, select drill diameter.
