What size hole do you drill for a 1/4 NPT tap?

If you intend to use the drill-only method to prepare the starter hole for a 1/4-18 NPT tap, use a 7/16 inch drill bit. If you choose to use the drill-and-reamer methods, use a 27/64 inch bit, followed by a 1/4-18 tapered pipe reamer. In either case, you should resist the temptation to use old drill bits.
