Yes, i was talking about to use tapered screws into parallel holes, because G1/4 Major Diameter is 13.157 mm so a NPT Thread Barb could be introduced and forced to crank. Pitch difference and growing diameter would force thread hole.

BTW, there is a BSPT (R1/4 - BSP Tapered), which use same pitch 19, same Major Diameter, but with Tapered Thread...

just for users knowledge...

And standard American:

That site also has other national standards on it as well.
