Drill a 1-1/2" hole, then cut the 1-1/4 NPT thread with a taper pipe tap. This is the size for drilling and tapping with no reamer step.

Charts differ on pipe threads. Some list a smaller drill because they assume the hole is taper-reamed first. If you ream, use the drill size your tap or reamer maker lists.
