Tap Extension 20.0 mm

The VÖLKEL Tap Extension is a high-precision accessory designed to lengthen the overall reach of your square-driven taps. Standardized according to DIN 377, it ensures perfect compatibility and the highest reliability in use. With an overall length of 220 mm, it offers you considerable additional reach.

Who Is This Tap Extension For?

This extension is ideal for you if you:

• Work in manufacturing, mechanical engineering, or assembly and need to cut threads in hard-to-reach places.
• Want to create or re-cut deep-seated threads in housings, pipelines, or complex assemblies.
• Want to flexibly expand your existing tool inventory without having to buy expensive specialized tools.
• Need a reliable and stable connection between your tap wrench and tap, even under difficult conditions.

The most common problem when tapping is insufficient tap reach. Standard taps are often too short to reach threads in deep bores or behind other components. This not only leads to frustration and wasted time due to complex disassemblies but can also impair the quality of the thread or, in the worst case, damage the workpiece.

The VÖLKEL Tap Extension solves this problem in an elegant and cost-effective way:

• Increased Reach: With its 220 mm length, it allows you to cut threads in places that would otherwise be unreachable. You no longer have to disassemble components or improvise.
• Cost Savings: Instead of buying expensive and rarely used extra-long special taps, you simply use your existing standard taps in combination with this extension. This not only saves on acquisition costs but also reduces the need for storage space and conserves resources.
• Easy Handling: Thanks to its simple but effective design, the extension is intuitive to use. Inserting the tap into the internal square drive and fitting the tap wrench onto the external square drive takes seconds.
• Stable and Precise Connection: Made from robust steel and standardized according to DIN 377, the extension provides a secure and play-free connection. You'll work with your usual cleanliness and produce precise threads, without having to fear any loss of application safety.

The VÖLKEL Tap Extension is a premium product that offers you crucial advantages in your daily work:

• Highest Precision Through Standardization According to DIN 377: This extension is manufactured precisely according to the German industrial standard DIN 377. This guarantees you a perfect fit for square-driven taps with a square size of 20.0 mm. A precise connection is crucial for the quality of the cut thread and the lifespan of your tools.
• Massive Reach of 220 mm: With this length, you can easily reach deep-seated or hard-to-access thread locations. The extension is a must-have for anyone working in confined spaces or on complex assemblies.
• Robust and Durable Steel Construction: VÖLKEL stands for quality. This extension is made from high-quality, robust steel, which ensures a long service life and high load capacity in daily use. You can rely on secure power transmission without fearing deformation or breakage.
• Flexibility and Cost-Efficiency: Instead of purchasing expensive and rarely used extra-long special taps, you use this extension with your standard taps. This not only saves acquisition costs but also reduces the need for storage space and conserves resources.
• Secure Square Drive (20.0 mm): The precisely machined internal and external square drives (each 20.0 mm) ensure a play-free and secure grip for your tap and an optimal connection to your tap wrench or machine adapter. This is crucial for precise thread guiding and prevents slipping or jamming.
• Optimal Handling Through Well-Thought-Out Dimensions: With a diameter (D1) of 36.0 mm and a diameter (D2) of 25.0 mm, the extension is robustly dimensioned but still offers good handling and prevents unnecessary collisions in tight working areas.
• VÖLKEL Brand Quality – Your Guarantee for Reliability: VÖLKEL has been a leading manufacturer of threading tools for decades, known for the highest precision and reliability. With this extension, you are investing in a proven product that meets the highest quality standards.

Using the VÖLKEL Tap Extension is straightforward and intuitive:

1. Select the Right Extension: Choose the extension that matches the square size of your tap (in this case, 20.0 mm).
2. Connect to the Tap Wrench: Securely insert the external square drive of the tap extension into your tap wrench.
3. Attach the Tap: Insert your tap into the internal square drive of the extension.
4. Cut the Thread: Now you can cut the thread precisely and cleanly as usual, even in the deepest or most inaccessible places. If you are using a hand tap set, switch between the taper, second, and bottoming taps sequentially – the simple plug connection allows for effortless changes.

Important Note: This tap extension is designed exclusively for manual use with a tap wrench. For machine taps used in drilling or milling machines, you will need special tool extensions with locking screws or chucks that can withstand higher torques and speeds.
