Default Plumber's tape needed?

"Upscale" writes:
I've just picked up a new portable compressor, hose and an array of fittings
~ all connections will be brass to brass. Do I need plumber's tape for these
fittings or should I be fine with just the brass to brass? I was wondering
what others have done?

Thanks.


Ah, you mean Teflon tape. Plumbers tape (for us old farts) refers to
the metal strapping used to hang pipe.

Teflon tape or dope never hurts (well, for NatGas, use tape/dope designed
for the purpose (yellow tape)).
