What size thread is a beer tap handle?
99% of tap handles in the US have a 3/8-16 female thread on them. There are a few metric versions out there though and these will have an M10-1.5 thread. They look very similar, so you may not be able to tell visually. If you're not sure, you can take it into a hardware store like Home Depot and use a thread checker on their nut and bolt isle to verify which one it is.
Do you have a minimum order quantity?
No, there is no minimum order quantity, but there are substantial discounts that kick in at very low quantities.
