Is This Threaded
Hello, these are not threaded, they are smooth walled. I apologize. Thank you!

What's the required torque to make this watertight?
Hi Peter! To install, simply place over open end of pipe and tighten to 60" lbs. of torque.
I would think no more than 8lbs, however you should check with mfr…
What size do I need for outside diameter of 2-3/4? ?
Hi Andy, the 3" Qwik Cap should work for that size pipe.
