: Yes Doug, thanks for the clarification,
: my descriptions are somewhat lacking
: sometimes.
: The depth of the hole in the pump body
: is pretty shallow, a full-length tap
: will bottom only partly in.
: I've got about 1/2 dozen 1/4 pipe taps
: ground to different lengths, I deal
: with this on a regular basis.

: I just assumed Glen meant the
: equivalent
: of "use a short projection
: tap". We have to use those at
: work on shallow tapped holes that take
: pipe fittings.

: Though I seldom encourage use of cheap
: tools (especially taps and dies), if I
: needed a pipe tap that I planned on
: grinding shorter, I'd buy off eBay. As
: long as the tap is sharp it should not
: have problems cutting the die cast pump
: housing.

: Yeah, I knew the NPT--used to sell it
: (sorta) when I worked at Lowe's a
: number of years back.
: It was your description of 'several
: taps' and 'grind one (or 2) down' that
: threw me.
