i’ve got 3/8 npt threads on a fitting. is this cap the right size to cover and protect em?

Match it to the thread size. This tear cap is made for 3/8 NPT pipe threads, so it’s intended to slip over and protect 3/8 NPT threaded ends.

That's what they're sized for. The Y-3/8 is made specifically for 3/8 NPT pipe threads, so if your fittings or ports are 3/8 NPT, these will seat right on them without any fuss.
