Wesco oil can spout thread

[Brian lightfootParticipant @brianlightfoot39268]

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

Sounds like it may be M6 x 1.0 ???

Jeff thanks I will have a look but as it is 1955 I would be surprised but you never know. Brian

12-24 UNC is fairly close too, given a bit of thread truncation.

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 )

Admiralty fine?

… I hadn't realised how inexpensive they were

The metal one in BRG and with Union Jack would be my choice. Likely to make any machine run faster with oil from it! Like it.
