We have a kitchen tap which was held in place in the draining board with

The tap now needs to be mounted on a 30mm quartz worktop and the screwed
rods are too short so I need to find longer ones. They are ~6mm in
diameter but I don't know what to look for in terms of thread size. Is
there a standard 'kitchen-tap-threaded-rod'?

Most likely to be M6. Measure the pitch over many threads. M6 has a 1mm
pitch.

Looks like 1mm pitch to me: thanks!
