3/4” Bolt & Screw Dimensions: Diameter & Head Size
3/4″ bolt dimensions and screw sizes are mostly used for heavy structural engineering, industrial equipment mounting, and high-load mechanical assemblies. This size is standardized with a 0.750″ nominal major diameter and is available in 3/4″-10 coarse (UNC), 3/4″-16 fine (UNF), or 3/4″-20 extra-fine (UNEF) thread pitches, representing 10, 16, and 20 threads per inch (TPI) respectively. This reference chart follows ANSI/ASME B18.6.3 and B18.3 standards for the head size and ANSI/ASME B1.1 standards for the thread dimensions to ensure compatibility across imperial fastening applications.
Disclaimer: Dimensions and tolerances may vary slightly depending on head style, manufacturer, or material — always verify with the official product datasheet before use.

Major Diameter –
The largest diameter of the external thread, measured crest to crest.
This defines the nominal size of the screw or bolt.
Pitch Diameter –
The diameter of an imaginary cylinder where the thread thickness equals
the space between threads. This dimension primarily controls thread fit
and tolerance class of 2A and 3A.
Minor Diameter –
The smallest diameter of the external thread, measured root to root.
This affects thread strength and clearance.
Threads Per Inch (TPI) –
The number of complete threads within one inch of thread length.
Higher TPI values indicate a finer thread pitch.
What is the tap drill size for 3/4″-10, 3/4″-16, and 3/4″-20 screws or bolts?
Tap drill selection is based on the material and required thread engagement. For aluminum, brass, or plastic (75% thread), a 21/32″ (0.656″) drill bit is specified for 3/4″-10, an 11/16″ (0.688″) for 3/4″-16, and a 45/64″ (0.703″) for 3/4″-20. For steel, stainless, or iron (50% thread), an 11/16″ (0.688″) drill bit is recommended for 3/4″-10, a 45/64″ (0.703″) for 3/4″-16, and a 23/32″ (0.719″) for 3/4″-20.
What clearance hole size is needed for a 3/4″ screw or bolt?
For a Close Fit, a 49/64″ (0.766″) drill bit is utilized. For a Normal/Free Fit (standard clearance), a 25/32″ (0.781″) drill bit is specified to allow the screw or bolt body to pass through the material without interference.
What is the difference between a bolt and a screw?
The difference is based on the intent of the fastener’s use; If the primary intent is for the fastener to pass through an unthreaded holes and be assembled with a nut, it is a Bolt. In this application, you usually hold the head and turn the nut to apply tension. But if the primary intent is for the fastener to be installed into a threaded (tapped) hole, it is a Screw. In this application, the connection is tightened by turning the head of the fastener itself.
