Standard Broom Threads
Standard Broom Threads
(OP)
Does anyone out there have specs for threads on standard broom handles? I have two different thread sizes, both appearing to have something close to ACME thread profiles but not standard TPI.
Most popular is about 3/4" outer thread dia x 5 TPI.
Another flavor is about 1.080" outer thread dia x 4 TPI.
I have to spec internal threads for parts that will accept these broom handles. Any help is appreciated!

I don't think he got an engineering specification to complete this. So far, I've heard of no casualties.

Manufacturers take a lot of liberty with this thread. Most of the metal and plastic threads have very loose tolerances and form, especially the plastic ones.
Here is a company that supplies handles to a local manufacturer. You might get some information as to the standard "Standard".
