No, you do not need Teflon tape to create a seal with these fittings. The stainless steel braided hose uses 37° JIC fittings that are designed to seal without additional tape, which simplifies installation and reduces the risk of leaks. JIC fittings create a metal-to-metal seal, which is effective and reliable.
