 I quickly determined that the fitting that goes

leaking
at the fittings?


>>>No.  You just didn't tighten the fittings enough.  They are designed 
to deform slightly and conform to one another.  The threads don't have 
anything to do with the sealing function; their sole function is to 
serve as the means by which the two pieces are jammed together.

Bust out the tools, and give 'em a bit more oomph.
