I quickly determined that the fitting that goes

area

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.
