that is what plumbers do when they don't want to be called back to
leaks....use plenty of PTFE tape around the olive.....
I disagree with PTFE on a compression fitting.
It should only be used on tapered thread fittings.
Its unreliable on anything else.
Gas fittings require a special thicker PTFE tape and only one turn.
?They leak if you use the thin stuff.
