Joe,
Watch out for that one. There is one size pipe thread that will seem to go into one size of inverted flare fitting and it may even seem to "make up". But the pipe thread is taper and the nut for the inverted flare is not. If you are unsure of a female fitting, look in and if the bottom is nice looking, it is a most likely a flare. If the threads just "run out" it is a pipe fitting.
