The calipers said 14mm, reading the outer diameter of the thread of what

Yes, I selected the female and male sizes seperately from drop down boxes.

Should all work then! Copious PTFE tape should work for the taper one,
the other may need tape, fibre washer *and* sealant if both threads are

I know about PTFE tape, but there is something else I can do if the male is 14mm and the female is 15mm?
