Anybody Have A 1/2" National Pipe Thread Tap I Might Borrow?

[Geezy Rider]

I messed up the threads on the drain hole on my RV water heater, trying to get the plastic threads of a broken plug out.

The plug is listed as a 1/2 inch plug but it looks more like a 3/4 inch. A standard 1/2 inch tap is obviously too small. I believe I need a 1/2 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) tap.

Does anyone have one I could borrow. I would pay for shipping both ways of course.
Thanks.

Depending on the model I believe your going need a 3/4” NPT tap. At least that’s what mine took when I had to retap mine. I had to borrow mine to. Good luck

Go buy one at HD and take it back when you are done.

Interesting, so why is the plug called a 1/2 inch plug when it's so large?

I've got a 1/2" pipe tap in my plumbing toolbox. I can bring it back up here to the office when I go to lunch today.

I bought a set at Harbor Freight for the exact same thing. It was cheap and used it several times since.

The 1/2 inch is measured I.D.. The outside diameter of 1/2 pipe is larger.

Are you at the Building Center Showroom Jeff? If so I'll stop in tomorrow.

Yes sir. It's in my truck in front of the estimating office on the east side of the parking lot.
