http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=24270
but in the description it says :
# Thread : G 3/8" Female to G1/4" Male

I had the same question on their G1/8 to G1/4 adaptor.

This is how they list it
Thread : G 1/8" Female to G1/4" Male

Ultimately what it is is male 1/8 that screws into a G1/8 hole
The other end is a female 1/4" which lets you put in barbs,etc.

The adaptor has a G1/8 threading that sticks out, and G1/4 threading that is in.

So the G3/8 is the threading that sticks out, while the 1/4" is where you screw in 1/4" barbs

So that part exactly is what you need. (they just word it funny)

your reading it right, but performance wrote it wrong ;)

that is the fitting you need converting 3/8" female threads on the rad to insert a G1/4" male thread into (LOL! that is the revised P-PCS version)

ideally it would read: "G 3/8" male to G 1/4" female"
