I am installing fittings on my splitter build.
the manual for the hyd valve does not recommend using pipe tape on the hydraulic fittings. I'm looking at pics of log splitters on this web site and I clearly see pipe tape. what's up with that?
would it be ok to use tape on the final few threads?
also, they recommend not using thread sealant with Teflon.
why is that?
thanks for your help,
