| UNEF | from no. 12-32 to 1.1/2″-18 | Inch extra-fine pitch |
| UN constant pitch | from 9/16″-20 to 3″-8 | Large diameters with constant pitch |
| Pg (electrical conduit) | from Pg 7 to Pg 48 | Cable glands, switchboards and electrical systems |
| Round Rd | from Rd 8 | Robust thread for fittings and connections |
| Left-hand | M, MF and G | Same geometries as right-hand taps, for through and blind holes |
Taper threads (NPT, BSPT), trapezoidal Tr and profiles to drawing: see the custom tap.
Geometries and materials
| Through holes | Spiral point, form B |
| Blind holes | Right-hand helix 15°, 35° or 45° depending on the material, form C |
| Cast irons and short chips | Straight flutes, form C |
| Materials | Annealed and quenched and tempered steels, stainless steels, cast irons, aluminium: substrate and coating as for metric taps (see the guide below) |
| Design | Reinforced or reduced shank depending on size (DIN 371, 376, 374, 2184-1) |
