So I need to replace the nozzle on my 40L 'fuel station' and I want to make sure I get the right thing. I did some searching and it sounds like the actual outer diameter on a '3/4 NPT' is 1.05"?

If that's the case, it seems this is a 3/4 NPT connection?

Just want to make sure I get the right replacement...

Thanks for any input!

It's been a long time since I've dealt with pipe fittings. 3/4" refers to the inner diameter of a female fitting.

Sorry, to be clear, 3/4" is the inner diameter of the pipe section, so the diameter of the threads will be the 1.05" you see.

Thanks much! So it sounds/looks like what I have is the 3/4, and the 3/4 refers to how big the inner diameter of the pipe itself is, that has this thread?

Yeah, that's right, just from how it looks from this picture. And assuming you don't have some non-standard fitting. But NPT is the most common.

Yea, the replacement options were 3/4 or 1". I remembered getting the wrong thing last time I needed NPT, so I wanted to be sure. Thanks again!
