Hi Group,
I needed to tap a 1/4" NPT hole in a piece of 3/8" plate for a project. My question is after doing it I have a leak, the fitting has bottomed out in the threaded hole by a shoulder on it. Apparently I tapped it too deep using a hand tapper tap. What depth do you use or know when is enough?
