Needed to redirect a water softener drain line directly into a pvc overhead sewer line rather than into a sump pit that redirects the waste water into the overhead sewer line. No sense overworking the pump. This tap allowed me to thread a drilled hole I made in the overhead sewer line. I then installed a fitting allowing me to attach the drain line. Project done. The tap can be used for future projects or to clean up female threads on other pipe fittings of this size.

I bought this tap to use in plastic. It worked great in plastic. It probably wouldn’t hold up in harder materials like steel. But for the price, it was a great value compared to others that were well over $150.

Needed a 1/2″ pipe tap for one of the plugs on the engine I’m rebuilding. Ordering and store pickup couldn’t be easier. The tap did what I needed it to and now I have one for future.
