Notes
- NHR (formed thread) is excluded from paras. 3.1 and 3.2: tolerances and minimum/maximum values are the printed table values. Garden hose sizes 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4 use this thread. Maximum major diameter, major diameter tolerance (internal) are reference values from para. 3.2; root radius and stress area are not given in the standard.
- NHR is excluded from paras. 3.1 and 3.2, so its basic/limit values are the table values and differ from D - h, D - 2h by definition (Minor dia min = D - 2h printed 0.9720 vs 0.9550; Pitch dia min = D - h printed 1.0160 vs 1.0115)
Mates
3/4-11.5NHR INT takes a thread of the same standard at the same size and pitch. The standard mating external thread is class Std. Check the fit with the standard pair →
Working out the mating options…
Different pitch or a different thread family never mate; the fit check runs over both tolerance zones.

| Check against formulas | NHR is excluded from paras. 3.1 and 3.2, so its basic/limit values are the table values and differ from D - h, D - 2h by definition (Minor dia min = D - 2h printed 0.9720 vs 0.9550; Pitch dia min = D - h printed 1.0160 vs 1.0115) |
| Notes | NHR (formed thread) is excluded from paras. 3.1 and 3.2: tolerances and minimum/maximum values are the printed table values. Garden hose sizes 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4 use this thread. Maximum major diameter, major diameter tolerance (internal) are reference values from para. 3.2; root radius and stress area are not given in the standard. |
