I think they mean 3/8 - 24 tpi     male  on one side, female on the other.   The picture is not correct for the description.

A typical steel brake line has a flare and male flare nut, which is like the male inverted flare.  That needs to seat against a female (internal threads) inverted (cone up) seat.  A male flare fitting would have the external threads and ends of the fitting chamfered at a 45 deg (if SAE), inverted male has the internal opening chamfered at 45 degrees.  The male flare fitting  would mate to a flare nut (female) on a steel line with a flare.  An inverted male fitting would fit against an inverted female flare fitting.   folla?   I hope I got that right...

first pict. is a female inverted flare (mates to a steel brake line and male flare nut)
second is a male inverted flare (mates to a female inverted seat fitting)

Are you looking to replace your factory rubber brake hoses with the steel braided stainless hoses? I got a set(front calipers/rear axle) from The Right Stuff Detailing. They fit like the're supposed to and look real trick too.If you want some pics let me know and I'll shoot a few and post them. I think the 3 line kit costs about $85 if I remeber right.
