Need a new nut for my SS ball valve

[cinderbike]

Hey folks,

After several trips to Ace, Lowe's, and Home Depot, and several dollars spend on trial and error, I am lost. I bought a brew pot off craigslist that is missing the nut that holds the handle on, and while I've found a few nuts that are the right size, I can't quite figure out the threading.

Anyone mind pointing me in the right direction?

Take the valve to the store with you and try various nuts on it, if you haven't already. If not, email wayne at bargain fittings to see if perhaps he can tell you what thread pitch it is, then order off McMaster or go to Grainer.

Depends on the brand of valve. Do as tre9er said and take the valve to a hardware store and see if they can match the thread.
