they are tapered for a reason, they dont need anything but the 37* flare to seat. its actually a rellay good way of sealing without having to add anything to it

yup
ive been using solid copper feed line's for 3 years now with no problems w/ taper fittings. You dont use anything on them. I also use them at work on many things in HVAC.

Re: (v4lu3s)
lol yeah i had a guy here that said to put teflon on the taper side on the thread, im like, lol if the taper leaks its going to leak out of the line before it could get to the threads since the threads pulls the taper onto the fitting.
