That water neck is higher and has a shallow angle, and with the hose connected put upward leverage/pressure on the inlet pipe, causing it to leak from the underside of the joint. I replaced the head water neck with the shorter and sharper 28-29 part and problem solved.
Long story short...do you have the correct head water neck?
