1/2" NPT tap

Hey guys,

I'm having a hard time finding a 1/2" NPT tap- I was wondering if anyone knows of any good tool shops in the GTA or Waterloo, that would carry one of these.

Thanks!

Spae-Naur will have it, but they are quite proud of their inventory. I would think Princess and TSC would have it as well, at a better price. What are you tapping that big, turbo drain fitting??

Brafasco, Facca, most "real" tool shops, etc. Not going to be cheap though.

Do you have a drill large enough to pre-drill before tapping? If not, add that to the list as well. If the front cover is off you may find it easier and cheaper to just take it to someone to get the job done. That way it's done right, and you don't have high $$ one-time use tools kicking around.
