With the discussions on air hose length I thought that some information about installing air hose connectors would be helpful A few years ago when I purchased my compressor a pipe fitter friend went along. When we unpacked it I started getting the stuff to put the air hose together. I started wrapping Teflon tape and he stopped me. His first choice is a gas pipe dope. It has Teflon in it. He went on to tell me that if I use the tape or the pipe dope keep it about three threads away from the end. If it is all the way to the end of the hose end when you screw on the disconnect coupler a small piece of tape or pipe dope can come off. Then when you use your nail gun or other tool that small piece can end up inside and cause you to have a repair problem. Since he is a professional pipe fitter I listen to all of his advice.
