Default Brake Line Question

Hello,

the bake line at the rear axle is 3/16" with a screw/nut (whats the English word for his screw or nut??) with a 3/8" thread for that I need a 7/16" wrench.

But what kind of brake line goes from the rear to the front?
It looks to me like the same size..
But.. The srew/nut seems to be bigger..
What kind of srew/nut is that?

Thanks for your help!

The brake line that travels from the back to the front is standard 3/16 th brake line, when it gets to the master cylinder it has a bigger than usual fitting. I ran new lines and took a double flare brake line tool and reused that fitting.
