After more reading and speaking with Marc, the issue is that the hose has NPS ends and the fittings are NPT. The threads are the same but NPT is tapered and seals at the thread, while NPS is straight and seals at the seat. I know many folks have suggested that NPS to NPT will still work with...
I'm having trouble getting fittings to seal and I'm starting to wonder if they're not compatible with the hose. I've attached pictures of the male and female ends. If you notice, the male side has a recessed flat "rim" that seems to indicate something may sit flush against it. This isn't present...
