Fitting an elbow onto front reg.

[Big Mac]

Right, so to make my marker working all I need is to put an elbow (i think thats what they are) onto the front reg.

Few questions - first, how tightly do i put screw it on?
second - Do I need to secure it in any way, loctite/ptfe?
Third, is PTFE alright or does it need loctite, if so what strength?

Think that's it - any tips or advice when fitting would be nice too.

Cheers guys.

Few wraps of PTFE tape on the threads, and screw it in tightish, test for leaks and if it doesn't leak leave it.

Bare metal on metal does not seal and you will leak air hence PTFE or sealant such as loctite.

I always use blue loctite to make sure. Dont use RED Loctite !!!!!
