Garden Hose is 3/4" 11.5 tpi. OD is 1 -1/16"

OD - Outside Diameter
Tpi - Threads per Inch

The nominal thread size is from 1/4 - 1/2" smaller than the outside diameter which is completely different than bolt threads. e.g. a vacuum hose barb on a car which has a 1/8" - 27 NPT thread is almost the same as 7/16 - 20 bolt threads.

Tapered threads both join and seal. The deeper you drive them, the tighter the seal.

For a 1/8" pipe D2 = 0.325 D3 = 0.345, t1 Min. = 0.472
