MAN4MACHINE1-3/4-8 UN
Unified National (Constant Pitch)
Past the diameters UNC and UNF tables cover, threads are specified by picking a constant pitch (commonly 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, or 20 TPI) and holding it across a whole range of larger diameters, rather than looking up one fixed TPI per size. Used on large bolts, threaded rod, and machine parts where a specific TPI needs to carry across several diameters.
- Standard
- ASME B1.1
- Flank angle
- 60° included
- TPI
- 8
- Major diameter
- 1.7500" (basic)

Thread profile
A 60 degree included flank angle.
Basic major 1.7500", pitch diameter 1.6688", minor diameter 1.6147" -- theoretical dimensions before any tolerance class is applied.

A wartime supply problem, solved by treaty
American, British, and Canadian forces fighting side by side in the Second World War discovered their fasteners often didn't interchange -- American and British national thread standards had drifted apart since Sellers and Whitworth. In 1948, the three nations signed the Unified Screw Thread Agreement, creating the Unified National (UNC/UNF) series so Allied equipment and spare parts could finally interchange.

Try “1/4-20 UNC-2A”, “#10-32 UNF”, or “1-8 UN-3A”. Add “LH” for a left-hand thread.
Basic (theoretical) dimensions and a shop tap drill only -- ASME B1.1's exact Class 1A/2A/3A pitch diameter limits depend on length of thread engagement as well as grade. Consult the standard or a calibrated thread gauge for gauge-critical work.
