@ Asker Like Abel, I read this as slightly telegraphed (or possible not even native-speaker EN?) — but my interpretation here would be rather "...Install Regulator Assembly .. onto nipple [in such a way that it is / as to be] leak tight."

I suspect a non-native speaker, who was struggling to find a way of saying "Install Regulator Assembly ... leak-tightly onto nipple." — but in EN, creating ad hoc adverbs in this way has to be done with great care!

raccord fileté étanche aux fuites

I think what they mean here is the nipple is leak-tight.
Actually, I feel like the whole sentence is confusing. I doubt whether it was written by an English native. To my opinion, may be it is a word-for-word translation from another language... Still hesitating...
Example sentence:

Placer l\'assemblage ... sur le raccord fileté étanche aux fuites
