OK, now I understand...
In the US, in the HVAC industry, tradesmen most often referred to these fittings in informal terms as, "standard fittings." But in fact (in formal terms) the fitting is called 1/4 inch flare (or 1/4" flare).
So, if you were speaking casually with an HVAC technician you would say, "standard fitting", but if you were ordering the part from a parts supplier, you would specify, 1/4" flare.
Oh, and since you're going through all this,
HERE IS A LINK to a page that details how I did the conversion.
Be safe, be outdoors when your work with this stuff. It's dangerous.
