M22 × 2.5 Thread Dimensions
M22 x 2.5 is a coarse ISO Metric thread. Pitch is 2.5 mm, equivalent to 10.16 threads per inch. The recommended tap drill leaves roughly 75% thread engagement.

How these values are derived
computed from the basic profileThese figures follow the ISO 68-1 basic profile of ISO 261. A 60° basic profile uses a fundamental triangle height H = 0.866025 × P, with external minor diameter d₃ = d − 1.226869 × P and internal minor diameter D₁ = d − 1.082532 × P; the two differ because the external root is rounded while the internal crest is truncated. A 55° Whitworth profile uses H = 0.960491 × P and a thread height of 0.640327 × P. The recommended tap drill is given as nominal diameter minus pitch, which approximates 75% thread engagement — adjust it for tough materials or deep holes.

Other pitches at the same 22 mm diameter — a fine pitch on a coarse diameter, or the reverse, is the usual substitution question.
