Sirius FAQs

Are Sirius taps suitable for professional engineering work?

Yes, Sirius taps are engineered for trade and industrial applications. Their HSS-E range features advanced materials and coatings (TiN, TiCN) suitable for production environments, whilst spiral point and spiral flute designs improve chip evacuation and thread quality in through-hole and blind-hole applications respectively.

What's the difference between Sirius spiral point and spiral flute taps?

Spiral point taps (gun taps) push chips ahead of the tap, making them ideal for through-hole threading in production work. Spiral flute taps pull chips upward and out of the hole, making them perfect for blind holes where chips cannot exit through the bottom. The colour-coded rings help identify tap types quickly in busy workshops.

Which stainless steel grade should I choose for outdoor fixings?

Sirius offers both A2 304 and A4 316 stainless steel fasteners. A2 304 provides good corrosion resistance for most outdoor applications. For coastal locations, marine environments or exposure to chemicals, choose A4 316 stainless steel which contains molybdenum for superior corrosion resistance in harsh conditions.
