Anyone know the thread size of a beer faucet handle?

5/16-18 NC

Thanks!!

are you talking about the tap handle? cuz mine are 3/8 -16

Casey is right.

In case you didn't believe Casey or BB..... Casey is right... common American tap handles are 3/8 - 16

This message was sponsored by the government.... based upon the lack of tax paid on the beer I'm enjoyed this evening...

sorry... I grabbed a nut, spun it on and it looked like a 5/16...

Hey! Dave's Back!
of course Casey is right... BB just got lucky


I have an excuse, I don't use pin lock kegs

Don't feel bad scarrylarry, I bought 5/16" inserts to make tap handles before I realized they were 3/8". It seemed like the right size when I was in Blowes.

thanks for your help. wasn't the first time I've been led astray and i doubt it will be the last. . i do that all the time, buy the wrong stuff just cuz it looks right and have to return it cuz it wasn't even close.

and I should know better than to do that, because it's another 17 miles back to the store for the exchange.

Exchanges suck. I'll be ready to grab 1-2 things and swmbo will dig out some knobs for cabinets and other bull$hit and then I gotta wait in line.

BB...when you made your tap handles, did you make one for each kind of brew or are the name plates exchangable?

I used these things, so I could label them as needed, IE Sucky Ale, Really Sucky Lager, J's Ale, etc. I believe I used the 2 1/4" ones. That was the widest I could use and maintain the space between the tap handles.

never thought of using those.... what did you use for the handle themselves? i've seen people cut down stair spindles or and glue moldings together for fancy ones.

Here's what I did. I cut them out of a piece of red oak.

FYI Those frames come with very small brass nails. Pre-drill small holes and press them in. Don't try and hammer them into oak.

NICE!!

"Sucky Ale, Really Sucky Lager"

why are we not surprised???

fun to tease you, but why is it that I doubt your beer is really sucky?

hahaha I was looking on ebay for some tap handles just now and stumbled across this.

Too funny.

that's one way to keep mooching friends outta your beer stash!

I've got some big dogs that make those handles every day. I'm going to epoxy coat them and start a new eBay business.

that's a crappy idea

And I thought my jokes were bad.
