I'm trying to construct a simple ("simple") system to distribute water around the barnyard using PEX. Except...there are a mulltiplicity of thread sizes and types. GHT (garden hose thread) male and female. 3/4" NPT (again M & F), 1" NPT (M & F), PEX (1/2", 3/4", 1"). >>>

2/ Merely trying to design a system that connects a yard hydrant in the barn to a pressure regulator to a manifold to PEX to sow water bowls / hoses / irrigation is an exercise in head scratching and frustration

3/ You can imagine a world in which every product lists its thread sizes at each end. You can also imagine a world in which people consistently refer to a thread with a searchable term (e.g. GHTF or NPT075M). We do not live in either of those worlds.

Replying to @MorlockP
The only piece of advise I can give is, don't use the plastic fittings. Go brass. The plastic seem to be bad. And if you are running a ton of the stuff, get a really nice pex tool.
