Dave, the seal is made by the shaped end of the pipe mating with the seat in
the valve and the threaded sleeve is just to apply compression. There should
be no sealant required and if a joint was found to be leaking, that needs to
be resolved a different way as leaks at any brake pipe joint would be a bad
thing.

Subject: [6pack] Brake pipe sealant?
Hello list;
I'm replacing the brake pipes leading into the PDWA and was wondering if
thread sealant of any kind is typically used? I'll be using DOT 5 fluid
in the
reservoir as I am flushing out the DOT3. No more paint damage, woohoo!
Thanks!!
