1-1/4-11.5 NPS Thread Dimensions
1-1/4-11.5 NPS is a pipe National Pipe Straight thread. There are 11.5 threads per inch on a 1.6598 in major diameter, giving a metric-equivalent pitch of 2.209 mm. The size label is a nominal bore rather than a diameter.

How these values are derived
tabulated standard valuesThis is a pipe thread, so the published dimensions are tabulated values from ASME B1.20.1 rather than figures derived from a formula: a pipe size is a nominal bore, and the relationship between that bore and the thread diameter is historical, not geometric. Diameters are quoted at the gauge plane; the thread itself is tapered, so the actual size changes along its length.
Compatible parts0 specification pages
No specification in this database uses 1-1/4-11.5 NPS. That is expected: the catalogue covers machine screws, bolts, nuts and washers, and pipe threads belong to fittings, which are a separate family of parts. The dimensions above are still the standard ones for the thread itself.
