Jamar Triple Reservoir

[legend42]

Looking for recommendations for the 1/8" NPT fitting in the bottom of the reservoirs.

These are the ninety degree ones. Can be found at most local parts stores as well

Thanks for the reply's. Do you recommend using Teflon tape or a sealant?

Do not use Teflon tape on anything related to the brake system. There are multiple thread sealants (Permatex, Loctite, ARP, etc.) that work perfectly. I actually prefer not to use Teflon tape anywhere on these builds. Save it for household plumbing.

Thanks Paul.

No tape on the tapered pipe fittings. The taper should seal the fitting to the reservoir. Using tape can lead to bits of the tape contaminating the fluid and getting into the rest of the brake system. If you can't get the NPT fitting to seal by itself, then Permatex 54540 Pneumatic and Hydraulic Sealant can be used.

Wilwood says use PTFE tape so....

yup that what I used on the fittings to the calipers, just haven't plumbed the lines yet!

I have the Jamar triple reservoir and didn't end up using any sealant. The taper on the fitting sealed it up, as Dave mentioned above, and I haven't had any leaks. On a related note and to potentially save you some coin, I purchased an extra reservoir top and plumbed it with a schrader value to pressure bleed the system. Perhaps it's unique to the specific top I received, but I could never get it to seal 100% and therefore could never achieve the 3-5 psi.
