Richard Lloyd Limited has been a major supplier of Special taps to all sectors of industry for over sixty years. Considerable experience and expertise has been accumulated in this time, and we are able to offer technical support, design facilities and high quality manufacturing

This category includes those products that can be modified from standard items through to those manufactured from raw material in bar form.

Typical requirements include;

Special dimensions.   Special designs.
Special base materials.   Special thread forms.
Special surface treatments.    

Order quantities can be from one to several hundred and design is only limited by the machine capabilities available!

Although standard taps generally have a lower price than Specials, Specials may be more cost effective due to better performance levels, i.e. lower price per thread produced, as a result of changes in tap material or design. Obviously the decision on which tap to purchase is dependent upon physical and performance requirements.

If you are not sure whether or not you will require a Special tap, please contact our Sales Department who will be happy to either discuss your requirements or arrange for one of our External Sales Personnel to visit .
