3/4-14 NPT taper Thread Dimensions
3/4-14 NPT is a pipe National Pipe Taper thread. There are 14 threads per inch on a 1.05 in major diameter, giving a metric-equivalent pitch of 1.814 mm. The size label is a nominal bore rather than a diameter.
Note. Diameters are quoted at the gauge plane. The thread is tapered 1:16 on diameter, so the actual size changes along the thread.

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 3/4-14 NPT taper. 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.
