Next divide the circumference by 3.14 to get the diameter.
Voila!
OD on same rated size plumbing varies depending on type of material wall thickness.
I recommend getting a full light photo of your existing plumbing and also get an OD using calipers and take that information to the hardware store and have them match it up. Before you do that, though, almost all plumbing has measurements stamped or labeled every 12 to 24 in on the exterior of the pipe so I would start there first if you have enough length to review.
The determining factor when choosing what to purchase is the software preference and usable longevity of the valve. The aftermarket bolt on, like you've shared, absolutely works to open and close when the valve is new and enough actuating space is available. Failure for this or any valve happens with age and exposure to elements. Sometimes just the condensation of cold water creates issue. Bolt on, however, does not provide leak measurement nor auto shut of capability - so a purchaser of this one would be required to purchase a separate water sensor to notify you of a leak.
Best practice for all remote valves is regular testing to confirm they'll work when you need them.
Water supply lines should be set to OFF by default, not on. You have issues cause the water is ALWAYS on. One small leak and its $5k -$20k
Also every unit should have a main shutoff including apartments. It should be standard that everyone shuts off the water to your unit when you leave the house, etc.
You should also turn off the water to your washer when not in use. #1 and #2 cause of flooding in the home is the hose for your washer and and the plastic hose to your ice maker in the fridge.

If you want cheap, go with the YoLink system with the bulldog "robot" valve turner.
Otherwise, go with Watts' LeakDefense or flologic.com. You'll pay 2k+ most likely, but you'll be able to actually trust it to work.
It ran for about an hour at 1.5gpm before Flo shut it off. This was while I was asleep at midnight, so if I didn't have this and assuming I noticed sometime during the day (high unlikely) I would have wasted a good 1 - 2K gal of water versus the 100 I wasted. It looks at your typical water usage and determines a leak based on that. I would assume if it detected a big pressure drop and continuous water flow, it would shut it off as well but hopefully that never happens lol.

The flow and pressure sensors are really good and have caught a lot of small leaks like running toilets and faucets that are cracked open. I have a tiny leak im currently trying to trace down but so fare can't figure it out. The leak test passes if I block in the kitchen sink but fails if I unblock it. I can't see a thing so it's definitely a micro leak probably slowly filling up the fixture. Kind of impressive.
Keep in mind that smaller flows will take more time to trigger a shutoff. My running toilet took 20 or so min to trigger. A completely busted pipe should trigger very fast.
