In many places outside the USA and its territories, a different hose fitting thread is used.
The US uses a GHT thread, which is 11.5 TPI (threads per inch), while the UK, its colonial outposts and even some rogue copycats, use the BSP (British Standard Pipe) 3/4" standard, at 14 TPI. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_hose.
This is a male-to-male adapter to allow the use of US female garden hose accessories, outside that domain.
Why? Well some parts available here on Thingiverse
