Where G1/4 is used, its real dimensions, and how to connect it to other standards.

G1/4 at 19 TPI is the standard air-tool and gauge thread. It is parallel, so on air work it is usually paired with a bonded seal or PTFE tape on a tapered mating part.

Quick-connect click fittings from Hozelock, Gardena and Karcher are proprietary and do not interchange. They all sit on top of a standard thread underneath, so the reliable way to move between brands is to adapt at the threaded tap or hose-end fitting, then use each brand's own connector above it.
