Yep, same as 7/16" UNF I think.

really... You really do have to blame the Americans for a hell of a lot of hassle!
Maybe I should dig out my thread gauges and use Micrometers :)

My reason for asking is that I bought a keg tap from Norm that screws straight onto a Disconnect, the same thread that screws onto a 3/8" JG fitting.

I Just don't know what the JG fitting is that I'd require if I want to put a flow-restrictor between the cornie and the Tap. :) Cheers (maybe I should have put this right at the start doh!)

Why not the fitting Chris mentioned on the disconnect, and a PI0112F4S on the tap and a length of line to suit the pressure drop required. Although you may want the tap rigid on the cornie?

Thanks guys :)
I've already ordered a '3/8 BEER ADJUSTABLE FLOW REDUCER' which I presume will do the job of 5 meters of small bore tube.
The tricky bit is not having the tap ridged on the cornie, it might be a case of me collecting a few bits then making something of them once we've moved house and got sorted.
