Handle Thread Size Problem

[Zoot69]

I have purchased a tap handle from a local microbrewery and the thread size is 3/8-16. From what I can ascertain the threaded faucet handle is metric: 10 x 1.5 mm. What would be the best way to convert the faucet to 3/8-16 to accept these tap handles?

I'm sorry to say I have never heard of an adapter piece for fitting European handles to US faucets. Maybe another forum member has?

Mike, my faucet is a Danby kegerator issue but it looks just like the units you sell. I'm using one of your cleaning kits. Again, the tap handle I would like to use is U.S. thread: 3/8-16; it's the FAUCET handle that seems odd. That's the metric thread from what I can tell. I checked it at a home center with one of those thread checkers.

Can you tell me what size and type of thread comes on your Micromatic replacement faucet handles? If it is a standard US 3/8-16, I would replace my original Danby and be in business.
The Danby is Canadian and maybe explains the use of metric.

Hope this isn't too convoluted.

Thanks for your input.

Mike,

That's exactly the info. I needed. I'll be ordering a replacement unit from you and whatever else I might need.

Thanks for your help
