Not sure it fits?
Ask before you order.

Almost every return in this category comes from one thing: the thread was never checked. Tell us what you measured and we will tell you whether the replacement head goes on — or whether you need something else entirely.

Step 1 of 2 · Optional, but it makes the answer much faster

Take 90 seconds to measure first

You do not need this to send the form. But if you can do one of these three things, we can usually answer with certainty instead of a guess.

1

Count the thread peaks

Hold the fitting against a ruler. Count the peaks in one quarter of an inch. Five peaks means 20 TPI — that is the one you want. Three or four means it is a pipe thread and this head will not go on.

2

Measure the outside diameter

A caliper across the male thread is worth the fifteen dollars they cost. Around 22.2 mm is a match. Around 21 mm is either NPT or BSPP, which is close enough to look identical and far enough not to seal.

3

Look for a taper

Roll it on a flat surface. A fitting that gets visibly narrower toward the end is tapered — that is NPT, a household plumbing standard, not a commercial pre-rinse one.

If none of that is possible: just tell us the brand and model of the faucet, or describe where the head screws on. We can often work it out from that, and if we cannot, we will say so plainly rather than sell you the wrong part.
Step 2 of 2

Send it over

We use this to answer your question and nothing else. No marketing list, nothing shared, no account to create.

Running a kitchen that cannot wait? If it is a rush, ask the question directly on the product page too — Achelous pre-rinse spray head on Amazon — so whichever channel you check first, you get an answer.

Or skip straight to the thread guide

Half the people who write in end up answering their own question on this page. It takes about four minutes and there is a diagram.
