The upper part is a hex fitting, designed to be turned with a wrench. That's the NPT side obviously, the National Pipe Thread side.
The lower part is a round fitting, designed to be turned by hand. That's the GHT side, Garden Hose Thread.
I use a wrench sometimes on garden hose fittings, but only because arthritis makes my grip sub-par. Took me a while to learn this secret: NEVER TIGHTEN GARDEN FITTINGS TIGHT WITH A WRENCH. With a wrench, just a hint of snug will do. If it still leaks, change the rubber washer.
Yeah, I don't like the price too much, but I like the design.
