1. Rationale
F1498, Section 4.5, indicates the term should be pilot to include internal and external threads, instead of counterbore. 4.5 Thread Starts-Molded Internal and external molded threads shall begin with a taper or blunt start. A pilot shall be provided from the face of the fitting and at the entering end of external threads; it shall have a length to the start (flank) of the first thread, equal to to the width of the thread pitch, 1 to 1 thread pitch to the centerline. Figures 2b and 2c show the pilot length for taper and blunt starts.
