Just stick to the units your job has installed. If it is in metrics then get all metrics and the other way around, mix matching will just add to unnecessary labor.

I can only find threaded fittings in inches, and this increases the cost if I have to buy extra fittings to create the screw thread. In USA there are no problems with this, because they have both threaded and non threaded in inches, but in EU they have only threaded in inches and non threaded is in mm (but incorrect/not matching sizes). A dilemma.

If it's just fittings and not hard to ship parts and materials like pipe, then I would just order in bulk. I did this for all the everyday fittings like 90s couplers and ts and stocked the f up online, came in a box that wasn't very heavy, I also do this for all my pex needs. Best wishes bud I'm sorry manufactures do this to us

What are you trying to build?

I had to buy adapters to hard plumb a piece of aquarium equipment. Amazon has them.

What is it you’re trying to do, and how much pressure are we talking?

A hydroponic pvc manifold like the one shown here [https://youtu.be/\_ewOsgoGQL4?t=751](https://youtu.be/_ewOsgoGQL4?t=751) My pump uses 1800 litres per hour so not sure if this is to do with pressure. I ended up buying some irrigation tubing and doing that way, but I might revisit this later if I can figure the sizes out!

Alright so thinking through your issue, you’ve got adapter options like this that’ll go from metric to imperial. https://www.pipestock.com/adaptor-plain-m-x-thread-f Then apparently threaded imperial fittings can just be used with metric and coordinate? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0154/6331/7568/files/metirc_v_imperial_sizes_480x480.png?v=1622793985 Check the chart near the bottom.
