Choosing the right option
Read the size as large x small: 3/4" x 1/2" has a 3/4" thread on one end and a 1/2" thread on the other. Both ends are male, so each side screws into a female port. If you want a male thread on one side and a female on the other, use a reducing bush. BSP threads do not mate with NPT or metric threads, so confirm the thread on every mating part before you order.
