If you know that the fitting needed is called an "inverted flare", and you know that you need a 3/8" inverted flare, you can find the correct thread size from this chart, which I just found on Google.

When I took my pump to town, I didn't know that the hose barb I needed was called an inverted flair, nor that is was 45°. I didn't even know it was called a "barb". I was looking for, & asked for, a hose "nipple", for 3/8" hose. |
You should have been able to hand them the pump. Tell them the application.
Then they tell you what fitting you needed.
You did everything right. Don't blame yourself. Not your fault.
