Is Plumbers Tape Required to Thread Brake Line to Demco Surge Actuator # DM72VR
Question:
The brass fitting that comes with this is loosely screwed into the plastic master cylinder. Do I need to install plumbers tape between the brass fitting and the plastic master cylinder?

It's not required. When we've installed the Demco actuator we used part # ALL644044 and we did not use any thread tape or anything like that it was just fine. I attached an install video for this coupler for you to check out as well.
