Teflon tape is generally not recommended for use on hydraulic fittings. Hydraulic systems typically rely on metal-to-metal sealing surfaces or O-ring seals, and using Teflon tape can introduce debris into the system, potentially leading to leaks or damage. It is better to use thread sealants specifically designed for hydraulic systems if needed.
