FYI, this isnt the correct forum board. But, I would use Teflon putty (not tape), and I would put the putty on the male and female threads.

It doesn't hurt and the extra protection is more piece of mind. I used it whenever possible

Teflon tape is NOT recommended for PVC pipe, use teflon thread sealant.

Does teflon thread sealant create a bond that cannot be undone? Teflon tape allows taking the connections apart, will the sealant?
