Hi there,

Would anybody know of somewhere local to purchase 5/8" lock nuts to secure beer taps? Usual fleabay search is only turning up ridiculously priced stuff.

There's no such thing as bad beer - some just taste better than others

Motor factors, plumbers suppliers?
Tried plumbers suppliers already and 5/8" does not appear to be a common sized nut in use here as most stuff is 1/2" and 3/4". Will try the motofactors.

It is just less than 16mm. 15.75
Could you replace.
Run a 5/8" tap through the 16mm nut

I'll ask in work if they have a 5/8" nut...decent chance they'll have one spare. Be next week though

Not to be greedy or pushy but if there was any chance of two that would be great. Absolutely no rush.

Can do that no problem (its only about a euro...no big deal). I go through Blackrock though on the way home from work. I'll let you know tomorrow if I can get them
