Many fittings, except unions, require the use of teflon tape.
You do not need tape on any flared fitting, brake or regular. The brake line and the fittings are different size and thread type than regular copper line and fittings. You can't mix them.

Typically, 3 to 5 wraps of Teflon tape should be used when sealing pipe fittings.
No, teflon tape (and pipe dope, for that matter) should never be used on flare fittings. They are designed to seal without tape or dope, and may actually leak if tape or dope is used.
Blue Teflon tape is thicker and denser than white Teflon tape, making it more suitable for sealing larger pipe fittings. White Teflon tape is thinner and better for smaller fittings. For plumbing applications, blue Teflon tape is generally preferred due to its higher density and better sealing capabilities.
No, using Teflon tape with oxygen fittings is not recommended as there is a risk of combustion due to the oxygen-rich environment. It's better to use specially designed oxygen-compatible fittings to ensure safety.

Pipe dope better solution than tape.
Using Teflon tape on gas fittings is very important to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. Teflon tape helps create a tight seal between the fittings, preventing gas leaks that can be dangerous. It is a crucial step in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of gas connections.
No, it is not recommended to use Teflon tape to seal oxygen fittings. Teflon tape is flammable and can pose a safety hazard when used with oxygen, which is highly reactive and can lead to combustion. It is better to use approved sealants or fittings specifically designed for oxygen systems to ensure safety.
