    Putting new spool valves on my loader tractor and they void the warranty if using teflon tape. Will regular thread sealer work? Pressures range up to 2500psi

    Use a teflon based pipe thead dope, teflon tape will break off when tightening a thread.
    The pipe dope is really more of a grease to help lock the tappered threads down,
    it’s not a true sealant.
