We beat the women and will beat the Men's team also once we finish with Slovakia
Use Teflon Paste and make sure the fittings are nice and snug. This are NPT fittings.. They won't leak as long as the surfaces are clean, you use Teflon paste.

Just like Patsmx5 or whatever his name was said, JB-weld and joint compound are completely different from Teflon products. Their purpose is to lubricate the threads so you can mash them together more; the sealing is done completely by the threads. So if Teflon goo (which is better than tape because any excess oozes out as you thread it in, you can use too much Teflon tape) isn't working, you most likely have damaged threads. So you're doing the right thing by buying a new fitting. If it continues to leak however, you can clean up those threads by getting a tap and tapping it further, as long as the fitting (which will now thread in further) doesn't interfere with anything, or doesn't bottom out.
