Does the Nickel-plated brass tee "T" with BSPT GZ, type A16 require thread sealant or washers for leak-free pneumatic connections?

Nickel-plated brass tee "T" with BSPT GZ, type A16 requires additional sealing for leak-free pneumatic connections. If the BSPT threads on your A16 are tapered (as BSPT usually are), use Teflon (PTFE) tape or a suitable pipe thread sealant. If the specific connection uses cylindrical threads instead, seal with an appropriate metal washer (aluminum or copper) between the mating faces. In short: tapered BSPT â thread sealant/tape; cylindrical â aluminum/copper washer.
