I’ve read a lot online advising against using Teflon on a CO2 outpost.
I bought a used tapright regulator that didn’t have an out post. After some research it appeared I needed a 1/4 inch MPT fitting. I bought one and installed it (admittedly, I didn’t have any pipe dope). I did a soap bubble check and it failed miserably. I then added Teflon to see if that would seal it, and it did. Are there any concerns with this? Numerous image searches and past experience turns up a rough 50/50 result of outposts having Teflon on them.
