What does the tap look like that it came out of.?
Photo would be good.
Looks to me like a 3/4". You are simply comparing with a 1/2".
Are you a DIYer? If so, where do you live?
Sorry to be a pain, but can you take an image of the valve from the front pls? Would like to see if it is indeed sat in some form of carrier.
Take it from the front slightly off to the side. Try to focus on the widest part pls.
No it won't be American. The USA uses NPT thread which at 3/4 & 1/2" version are directly interchangable with BSP.
Just a 'blinding glimpse of the obvious' thought. Why are you not simply rebuilding the originals?
New O rings, washer, a good scotch bright and fill it with silicone grease and it will see that good as. Face the tap seating also.

Best. O-rings are simple to replace. See previous write ups from me on the subject.
Oh, thanks for the heads up David .
I dispair sometimes. DO NOT face the seat. Most are hard chrome plated and removing it ruins the whole tap. Modern taps seats are NOT designed to be re-cut.

Interesting, never knew this! I was always taught to face up with every washer.
