What size thread is an intertap spout?

Answered by Louis Krause

As an experienced sommelier and brewer, I can confidently say that the size of the thread for an Intertap spout is British BSP 3/8″-19. This specific thread size is commonly used for the spouts of Intertap faucets, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection between the spout and the faucet body.

When it comes to and serving beverages, having the right size thread is crucial for a smooth and hassle-free operation. The Intertap brand is well-known and widely used in the brewing industry for its high-quality faucets and spouts.

In my personal experience, I have found the Intertap spouts to be reliable and efficient. The 3/8″-19 thread size provides a perfect fit, ensuring that there are no leaks or drips during the pouring process. This is especially important when serving draft or other carbonated beverages, as any leakage can result in loss of carbonation and a less enjoyable drinking experience.

To further illustrate the importance of the correct thread size, let me share a situation I encountered while working at a brewery. We had recently installed a new draft system with Intertap faucets, but we were experiencing some issues with leaks at the spout connection. Upon investigation, we discovered that the incorrect thread size had been used during installation. Once we replaced the spouts with the proper 3/8″-19 thread size, the leaks were resolved, and we were able to serve our beers without any problems.
