Shank help

Post by Stanna » Fri Jan 15, 2016 12:12 pm

Hi, can anyone shed some light as to what size this John guest fitting may be, the tap shank and fitting all came as one unit so I do not know the size, I have measured it and its 7/8" all day long but the John guest website says they don't even make that size fitting, if it helps the tap is a perlick 650 ss, I need the new John guest fitting as the other has cracked due to over tightening.

Beer tap fitting if English will normally be 1/2" bsp, if American they will most likely be American Beer thread which is 5/8"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Standard_Pipe

5/8 = 22/3mm across the male part.

so if you have measured 7/8 = 22.225mm

I can confirm that #JGPI451215F is the correct part as I am using these on the Perlick 650SS shanks.

I ordered from here - http://www.cotswoldengineeringsupplies.co.uk
