Tightening torque estimate
Pipe threads are made up to a seal against the mating flanks, not tightened to a bolt preload, so no proof load or tightening-torque figure applies.
Put 3/4-14 NPT on a job sheet
The bolt schedule collects the fasteners for one job onto a single sheet - tap drill, wrench size, grade and tightening torque on every line, taken straight from pages like this one. Free schedules hold 3 lines and are saved in this browser only.
3/4-14 NPT is a NPT pipe thread running at 14 threads per inch on a 26.67 mm major diameter. NPT is a 60° tapered thread that seals on the flanks; use a tapered reamer after drilling for a full-form thread.
All values are generated from the standard thread formulas (ISO 68-1 / ASME B1.1) and published standard tables - not hand-entered. See the full reference.
Frequently asked questions
What drill size do I need to tap 3/4-14 NPT?
Drill 23.42 mm before tapping 3/4-14 NPT. NPT is a 60° tapered thread that seals on the flanks; use a tapered reamer after drilling for a full-form thread.
Is 3/4-14 NPT a tapered or parallel thread?
3/4-14 NPT is tapered. NPT is a 60° tapered thread that seals as the flanks wedge together, normally with thread sealant or PTFE tape.
How many threads per inch does 3/4-14 NPT have?
3/4-14 NPT runs at 14 threads per inch, a pitch of 1.814 mm, on a major diameter of 26.67 mm.
Is there a torque spec for 3/4-14 NPT?
No. Pipe threads are made up to a seal against the mating flanks, not tightened to a bolt preload, so no proof load or tightening-torque figure applies.
