    There are quite a few places where you may need brass NPT threads on a brake system. For example, if you have through-the-frame fittings, one end will be flare, and the other will be NPT. You use a NPT to inverted flare elbow or tee to tie in the brake lines.

    Residual valves and proportioning valves can have NPT fittings. There you need a NPT-to-flare straight adapter. The attached prop. valve comes with NPT adapters.

    You need teflon tape or a teflon sealer on ANY pipe thread. However, you never use a sealer on inverted flare or AN flare fittings.
