Should be, but might be worth double checking as it's not unknown for generic parts to sneak in metric threads on included components (see also nuts on ball joints).

 

I use a big syringe to attempt the same one way traffic. It looks like they have a coating on the threads, which is where my syringe technique loses marks & lets in a bit of air. I wonder if it'll stand the test of time?

I find one the Master is bled, just cracking the standard nipple open, putting a hose on that in to a bottle that has some fluid in it, below that fluid level and pumping the pedal works fine on both the brakes and clutch.

 

Sometimes new masters can be slugish to get started, for that, I have a Gunsons that I use, though I never put fluid in to that, only just the Master and keep a keen eye on it.
