23 forum posts | Does anyone know the thread size on a wesco oil can spout please? The Dia is 0.201 and the tpi looks to be 24 but I may be mistaken any help would be appreciated. Brian |

1719 forum posts 1 photos | 12-24 UNC is fairly close too, given a bit of thread truncation. Edited By Bandersnatch on 19/06/2019 22:13:01 |

7227 forum posts 21 photos | 0.201 is smaller than 1/8 BSP (which is 28 tpi anyway ). 1 BA is 0.2087 dia, so 0.201 would be truncated, but really being a 5.3 mm x 0.9mm pitch, thread it is 28.2 tpi So not necessarily a good alternative. The thread form may give an additional clue. Is the mating thread 55, 60, or 47.5 degree?.. 55 is Whit form, so may be some BSW or BSF 7/32 is too big for 0.201. 60 will be Unified, or Metric and 47.5 can only be British Association. Of course it may a special, peculiar to that item (In the same way that Myford used 12 tpi on the later M series and the 7 Series.Mandrels ) Howard |
