    I don’t think we have a Swedish one. But we call clockwise “medsols” and counterclockwise “motsols”. Meaning “with the sun” or “against the sun” Does everyone have reversed threads on plumbing or is that a Nordic/Swedish thing? All plumbing has the reversed rule, left tightens and right loosens.

      The reversed rule in plumbing is only for gas lines in the Netherlands.

      Whut. Chaged my bathroom sink not long ago and it definitely loosens to the left/counter clock. Norway.

      In the plumbing sector, left-hand threads are used whenever two pipe ends need to be connected that cannot be rotated. The connector is then equipped with a left-hand and right-hand thread and can therefore easily be screwed between them.

      So it’s not just typical for Nordic countries, but depends on the application.
