A wrap of teflon tape probably will do the trick. Just be extra careful and don't get it into the flow line. Ken Sweet

I might try that if I was stuck in a field with rain coming or something.. but I'd sure be ording the real deal when I got home. I've seen thread tape in hyd valves and had to hand pick it out of orbital valves.

We've banned the use of ALL teflon tape in our shop.....we use any type of TFE paste....Loctite PST is our favorite.....some manufacturers will void warranty if teflon tape is present on any fittings!!!!!

the shop we use won't do ANY work on stuff with tape on it.. or paint on any cyl rods. they send it back tell ya sorry about your luck, and then give you the price on a new assembly.

I am with you on that advice. Teflon is not a long term solution. Ken Sweet

it's too hard to clean and remove too.. it shreds and gets in valves.. reliefs and everething.
I've spent 8 hours with a dental pick, spray can and blowgun cleaning a hyd steering system to remove teflon because a worker was too busy to replace a 45$ coupling before. which still had to be repalced later.
hmm.. 8 hrs work plus the part.. or just the part.. don't take a cpa to do the math there..
