A 3/4 NPS (National Pipe Straight) thread refers to a nominal pipe size with a specific thread profile used for non-tapered, straight pipe fittings. The outside diameter of a 3/4 NPS thread is approximately 1.050 inches (26.67 mm), and it typically has 14 threads per inch. NPS threads are designed for mechanical joints and require a sealing mechanism, such as an O-ring, to ensure leak-tight connections.
