Is Teflon Tape Needed To Seal the Propane Regulator
Question:
do you use teflon tape on regulator
asked by: Jerry
Expert Reply:
Yes, you will want to use some sort of thread sealer like part # LT37482 or pipe tape like part # A05-0265 on the NPT fittings inside of the MB Sturgis Single Stage Propane Regulator part # 108072. As a general rule, all NPT fittings should have some sort of thread sealer or pipe tape on them.
Not to confuse you but some supply hoses (propane tank to regulator) like part # 100833-12 come with an inverted flare fitting and if that is the case then you would also need part # 402258-MBS in order to attach it to the regulator. If you use this adapter then you don't need any thread sealer or pipe tape on the inverted flare fitting side but will for the NPT fitting side.
