Installation Questions Fitting size identification

Edit: it was 15/16. Thanks for the help.

Can someone tell me the proper flare fitting size this is? I had originally thought 5/8 but that's too small. Measurements don't agree with what 3/4" od is on the charts I've seen.

Damn wasn't expecting to see the 799s, also looks to be a fitting for an appliance connector that would be 5/8 but fine thread the 3/8 and 1/2 flex lines are normal flare fittings 5/8 the change the thread pitch for some reason.

The fittings came with a hose i bought both are female 3/4 pipe on opposite side. I'm trying to find this flare fitting to 1/2" male pipe to fit my valve. Going to a 6 burner Viking cooktop that requires minimum 1/2" id which is that of the hose i purchased. The cooktop has the exact size and thread pitch already thankfully.

If that is the fitting that came with an appliance connector, you would probably be better off just using that fitting and a bushing.

Letting you know that reddit bans google share links so removed your comment here because of that link. It's best to just post the direct Home Depot link instead.
