Faucets leaking where shank connects to hose

EDIT...THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PARTS FROM AUSTIN HOME BREW.

I just finished my keezer but am disappointed that all of my shanks are leaking. I tried varying degrees of tightening but they are all dripping.

here's what I have;
Shanks:
Austin Homebrew Supply
Connectors;
Austin Homebrew Supply
Faucets:
Austin Homebrew Supply

The leak is coming out where the nut threads onto the shank..

Did you assemble it correctly?

For the shank to line side:
nut -> nipple -> washer -> shank

You did assemble them by first dropping the tailpiece into the nut, then dropping the washer in on top of that?

Doh!!
I had the washer in the wrong place... Mistakes are made when you're in a rush to finish..
Thanks.

I just finished my kegerator the other day...First time for me...Tap 1 was tightened too tight and pulled the nut thru the plastic inside fridge...2) I broke the quick disconect on the gas out on one of the kegs and had ball bearings all over the inside of fridge 3) I removed the picnic faucets that were previously on the beverage out side and connected them to the shanks, then I had the bright idea (Insert deep gutteral laughing...This is my you have got to be kidding me, Holy **** Im a moron moment) of clearing the line by connecting it back to keg before I connected to the shank...Yep BEER Fountain...Eyes, Face, etc...So Moose, dont feel bad and I feel your pain...Take care...Jason

Thanks..just finished disassembling Oetiker clamps etc and putting all four back together.

here's some pics of the new keezer 90% done. Still need to caulk a few places and paint the ends of the wood.
It's a little ghetto but for a garage home brewery it's do.

Nice Moose! Wish you had been on here a year ago so I could have helped baptize it as I just moved from Newbury Park last year. I lived about 4 blocks from Newbury Park High School.

Enjoy it!

Thanks, now I gotta get brewin again as my pipeline has been on hold due..nothing's been fermenting for a week or two.

Can you have the moderators fix the title of the thread?

I would appreciate that.

Thanks.

No problem. Moose.
