why do they have to make it difficult? why cant they just call it 3/8 if it's 3/8... that's the first time i've seen it explained like that. when i do my m1009 rebuild i was going to use an fittings, but wasnt sure which ones and what the sizes meant.

You just have to be cautious about which end of the fitting the number applies to. IE 1/2" hose X 3/8" flare. -6-8 or -8-6?

They work much better when the brand and type hose are the same as the fitting.
