Is that a home depot / lowes type item?

What does the "MPT" stand for when you say:

"1/8" MPT X barb brass fitting"

Since I'm not having any cooling issues (and just did the upper / lower hoses / thermostat / coolant flush at the beggining of the summer), it would be a big bummer to now have to swap the radiator $$$. At least looking at the factory service manual, it looks very easy to do...
