How to select the correct HELI-COIL STI Tap for M20x2.5 inserts?

Select a tap marked for the same thread size and pitch as the insert, here M20x2.5. Use an STI tap (not a standard tap) because it is oversized to accommodate the insert. The H4 / 4H tolerance ensures proper fit. Always match the tap to the HELI-COIL insert part number for reliable thread strength.
