Ratchet Pipe
Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2010 in construction equipment
What is it called when you thread the inside of a metal pipe? (Tapping?)?
And if so can anyone tell me if this can be done by hand with a ratchet? Thanks
Yes, that's called "tapping" and the tool is called a Tap. Normally you would use a special "tap handle" to turn the tap to help keep it aligned.
I have used vise grips! If you are careful to keep it straight for the first turn or two you can make a decent thread.
Below are links to tap handles and taps with pictures. The "T" handles are usually used for smaller sizes (up to 3/8" diameter or so) and the straight handles for larger sizes.
