Whole house filter

[vacuumpumpman]

I just got my whole house filter today. I had already picked up some 1/4" hose barbs from the local hardware store. My question is this, do I need to put some Teflon tape on the threads? I sure don't want a leak when I start filtering. Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes telfon tape is ok , but not pipe dope

You will proubly be ok if you just tightned it down without anything as well, as long as you are not pulling in air at that point.
