Default compression fittings

Hello,


Is the thread on a 15mm compression fitting 1/2 inch BSP? And on a
22mm fitting 3/4 inch?


I ask because Screwfix sell male compression couples that have a 15mm
nut on one side and a 1/2 inch male thread on the other. I wondered
whether this is just a straight 15mm couple with one nut removed or
are they different?


Similarly is a 22mm to 3/4 inch couple just a 2mm straight couple with
one nut removed?


A compression fitting has a internal taper for the olive. A male coupler
not.

Thanks.
Stephen.
