I am jumping through hoops to have a mechanical oil pressure gauge and idiot light... I have read numerous posts about getting a "tee" or Street Tee. No success locally, guessing I am looking in the wrong place.. The fella at the parts store said he had heard of dryseal and sent me to a plumbing supply house. The had NO idea what I was talking about.. |

If you are looking for a Teflon thread sealant, Permatex makes one. I find it at Napa, Autozone etc..... |

No, Dryseal is a particular kind of thread; see here. Jase, see if you can find a hydraulic-lines-and-hoses place near you. Otherwise, here y'go. |

Thanks Dan, It is always a pleasure to read any post you contribute. Jase, see if you can find a hydraulic-lines-and-hoses place near you. Otherwise, here y'go. The parts store I was at, IS the local hydraulic hose and line place, No need to go back there. I will start looking for a real hydraulic lines and hoses shop and see what happens. |

Yeah, you can mate regular NPT threads to NPTF threads as long as you use teflon tape or some other thread sealant. |
