| Remarks 1. | Pipe End is Basic Diameter Position (E1). |
| Remarks 2. | Effective Thread Length is the length away from Pipe End by (L1+L3). |
| Remarks 3. | Concerning bored hole shape, considering load on taps, taper bored hole is recommended. |
| Remarks 4. | When applying taper bored hole. by referring to values in shown columns5,6and8,9, prepare the taper hole by using pipe reamer (1/16 taper). By referring to values shown in column!, select the drill diameter before reaming by taking reamer's margin into account. |
| Remarks 5. | When preparing straight bored hole, by referring to values shown in column!, select drill diameter. |
