Looking to see what iron pipe part can fit a 10mm ball joint?

[JohnnyZenith]

Looking to see what iron pipe part can fit a 10mm ball joint? In this pic there is a part that connects the ball joint (or whatever they are called) to the 1/2 inch pipe. I am looking to connect to a 3/4 inch pipe. Are there any threads that do this? Thanks

I have been told that in North America these would be 1/8 threads. I guess they use imperial size threads and we use metric. I also hear they use NPT not BSP 🙁

Looks like 1/4 inch, 3/8 is around 15mm dia

I've been told it

I've been told it's probably 1/8 NPT. I understand this isn't compatible with BSP. Our lamp ball joints are 10mm. As such this is getting too complex and I will have to give up. I appreciate your help. I can't see any other way of doing what is in the pic but 10mm to 3/4 inch bsp.

Sorry i'm confused. How will this fit to 10mm? Isn't 10mm 6.35mm? I think maybe I should give up on the whole adjustability thing. I appreciate your help.

1/8th is around 9.8mm dia

I see. I'm guessing that won't fit a 10mm thread then. Could be epoxied in I guess.

End cap, 10mm thread, 10mm nut on the other side, screw together. Just thought of this.

If it’s a one off and you can’t find anything, it’s not too difficult to turn something out of brass on a lathe. Pay a local craftsmen if you don’t have the skills.
Or consider buying something the wrong size but quite close that you could re-tap to what you need.

This is really helpful. Very. I'll look into it.
