Default teflon tape?

For the SafeAir kit attachment to the aluminum tube on the Dynon pitot probe, for the threads on the blue AN fitting that screw into the brass hydraulic fitting, should I use Teflon tape? These ones did not come from SafeAir with teflon tape pre-applied, as other fittings in the kit did.

Teflon tape is fine for air fittings. However, do be careful to not get any tape in the system. However, teflon tape is a N0-NO on all fluid fittings on aircraft as far as I know. If some sort of thread sealant is necessary, teflon paste or the like can be used.
