i believe you will find that (assuming you're referring to the ID of the fitting..) it varies according to the material amongst other things and if it happens to be 1/4" ID then that's by chance rather than design..... i seem to recall you and i covered this ground in another thread (on bit-tech iirc)

the OD of the thread is the standard - and is much larger than the nominal size
