Well, quite honestly, the poly top is only tapped out to a certin diameter. Adding the teflon taped added diameter, and since poly, being strong; is quite brittle. Something gave, and it certinly wan't going to be the brass barb.
I personally, wouldn't touch the barbs if they didn't leak in the first place.
