[time-nuts] 1" 14 tpi UNS die

[Chuck Harris]

Ok, I will try this from a different angle.

1" - 14TPI UNS thread like you described are very rare outside
of the large machine industry.  They are used for things
like bolts on tractors.  I have a pretty big doubt that it
has any application in a GPS antenna.

US pipe thread in the sizes 1/2", 3/4", and 1" are 14TPI, they
are not "1.0 inch" in any dimension, however.

It is pretty common to use standard pipe fittings in antenna
work.

So how did you arrive at needing a 1"-14TPI UNS die?
