Would I need to put anything on the threads like teflon tape? Thanks Last edited by 71rm23; 01/21/16 03:12 PM.

Each size is a different color for easy ID. I even used one on the unused 1/4 (iirc) return nipple on a sending unit (red iirc) & no leaks in years so whatever they are made of it is stout material & will stand up to our (automotive) needs live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I had one blow off once, creating a huge vacuum leak a hundred miles from home.. Until I diagnosed it I thought I was going to need counseling... Better, if possible, to get the correct fitting with NO extra nipples....

So I used a zip tie as a sort of hose clamp to hold them on, never had a failure after that. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
