[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 20410, member: 4034"] There's a foot of snow outside so I can't get out to the garage to look at the numbers on mine. That number looks familiar. If they come from Screwfix in the UK, they're PROBABLY BSP. I've bought eight of them in all. They're about $6 each and the first ones I bought four or five years ago are still perfect. Most of the sites I looked at to find them don't list the threads, assuming perhaps that British plumbers KNOW that if it's a 6 mm ball valve they'll be BSP. Four of them had male (tank) threads that were BSPT (tapered). I ran a die down two of those, but discovered that I needn't have bothered. I use Loctite thread sealant - the tank connection on mine has no flange. Works fine, has done for 5 years. [/QUOTE]
