Finally, I've found a combination of parts that work. Yesterday, I picked up a couple 3/4" lock washers from Lowes, and they fit over the brass nipple. I was able to use one of my 5/8" stainless steel washers next to the ball valve, since the washer would actually fit over the threads on the brass nipple.
Well, after a good tightening of the fittings, I filled the cooler up to the top with water and checked for leaks. And after 20 minutes, everything on the outside was bone dry.
Now I just need to find a vinyl hose or something that can withstand mash/sparge temperatures.
