Would you believe its on a web site...
http://www.sizes.com/home/handles_broom.htm
"In the United States, most threaded handles for brooms, paint
rollers, extension poles for window washing brushes and squeegees, and
so forth, have threads ¾ inch in diameter, 5 threads per inch, Acme
form."

Yep I made a bunch on good "turned from solid" fittings for the
push brooms in the metal shop at school last year. I cut them
5 tpi Acme and they worked fine. That was the first Acme threads
I ever cut.
