G3/8 shares the 19 TPI pitch of G1/4 but a larger 16.66 mm major diameter. Common on braided tap connectors.

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.
