A flat measuring 1 inch by 4 inches has an actual size of 1 inch in width and 4 inches in length. This means it has a rectangular shape with a total area of 4 square inches. The thickness of the flat is not specified, so it is typically considered to be negligible in this context unless otherwise indicated.
A threaded hole with a minor diameter of approximately 2.61 inches and a thread pitch of 11 threads per inch (TPI) indicates it is likely a 2.5-inch nominal size with a coarse thread. The actual major diameter can be calculated based on the TPI and the thread profile. In this case, the major diameter would be around 2.75 inches, consistent with standard measurements for 11 TPI threads.
Actual hole size for 1 inch conduit is 1.362"
