Is there an adapter to attach metric thread tap handles to a U.S. thread faucet?
Hello:
I am trying to find an adapter to attach metric thread tap handles to U.S. thread faucets. If no adapter is available, are there other options available to achieve this? I know the U.S. thread size is 3/8"-16, but what is the thread size of the metric handle? Thanks for your time and advice. It is greatly appreciated. |
What tap handle are you trying to use? Is the metric handle metal or plastic or wood? If it's plastic or metal you can probably just run a 3/8x16 tap into it to cut new threads. If it's metric it's probably 10mm which is slightly smaller than 3/8 so the tap should work fine to cut new threads
|
I am not sure whether metal or plastic threads, since they have not arrive yet. I only know they are from Europe, so they will be metric.
Thanks so much for the information. It is very helpful. Thanks again. |
Google search for "Tap Handle Metric", it'll take you to a site that sells an adapter for European faucets
|
Are European tap handle connections smaller or larger than the US standard size?
