Don't even get me loving started on that. There are like a dozen thread standards and fitting types I have to deal with. Let's see...
NPT commonly used on vacuum barbs, etc
NPS (straight instead of tapered threads) is used on many GM transmission cooler lines
Imperial ORB
metric ORB
JIS flare
Imperial flare
Metric flare
AN flare
AN flare with Schrader valve
DIN ISO bubble flare
Quick connect
BSPP
BSPT
Multiple sizes and types of banjo bolt and fitting

naturally I never ever have the correct size or adapter on hand.

I'm am enginamneer (though far less hands on than Kastein) and I've never heard of the ORB ones, I'll go look them up and ponder them later
