Hi guys
Trying to put together a LP pneumatic system but I'm getting leaks around the connections, do I need to have gaskets or something?

What connectors are you using? On threaded adapters used ptfe tape or liquid. the liquid is better but expensive and takes a while to set. If you are using push-fit connectors make sure your tubes are not under strain and trying to pull out or pull to the side as this will also cause leaks.
Cheers Ed, yeah it's the threaded connectors. What's the liquid called please?
Liquid is loctite 577

Like I said expensive
The tape is a couple of quid a roll
I use 2K glue. Cheap and strong.
Cool thanks for the help guys :)
