Yeah maybe it was short sided to use tape but the point was to "lubricate" the threads and allow a tight enough connection. It is in fact tight enough because my air filter now stays clean. Like i said, I may play hell getting it apart should the need arise. As for fumes, i haven't noticed any..

Hi Josh, Good point made regarding tapered thread sealing qualities and the lube aids to obtaining a good mechanical seal. I'm a little dismayed that you used Teflon tape on the exhaust fittings. This is probably the worst application for the product (second being any system with a pump in

Most if not all pipe dopes and Teflon tape sealers are not really there to "seal" the threads of a NPT fitting from leaking. They are simply there to lubricate the threads so a sufficiently tight connection can be made. The lubricant may also help in disassembly. By design the mechanical compres

2GM20F - I’m about to replace the mixing elbow - got the part. There’s a pipe joint between the mixing elbow and the exhaust elbow that screws into both parts. Do I screw this piece in dry or (more likely) use some sort of sealant? If I need sealant - what do you guys suggest? I’ve got a tube
