Stainless steel pipe threads are prone to leaking as well as seizing or gulling of the threads. After many years of experience and pressure testing systems up to 7700 PSI I have found this works best.
Apply UNASCO MX-68 Silver Stainless Steel Pipe Thread Sealing Tape to the threads (4-5) wraps is sufficient for smaller pipes. Generally found that covering all the threads 2 layers deep works well.
Step 2
On top of the Teflon apply a layer of SWAK thread sealing compound. Be sure to cover all around the pipe from the starting thread to the half way point of the entire length of thread.
Step 3
Tighten away

Do you need pipe dope for brass to brass?
Yes, it is still a pipe thread. The pipe dope is there to fill in the gaps in the thread. It is impossible to machine the treads close enough in pipe to not need something in the threads to make a seal.
What are the differences between pipe thread sealant and Teflon tape, and which one is more effective for sealing pipe threads?
Pipe thread sealant and Teflon tape are both used to seal pipe threads, but they work in different ways. Pipe thread sealant is a liquid compound that hardens to create a seal, while Teflon tape is a thin, flexible tape that is wrapped around the threads to create a seal. In general, Teflon tape is more effective for sealing pipe threads because it provides a tighter seal and is less likely to leak.

You can use pipe thread sealant aka "Pipe Dope" you can get this at most hardware stores.
What are the differences between thread sealant and Teflon tape for sealing pipe connections?
Thread sealant and Teflon tape are both used to seal pipe connections, but they have some key differences. Thread sealant is a liquid compound that hardens to create a strong, permanent seal, while Teflon tape is a thin, flexible tape that is wrapped around the threads of the pipe to create a tight seal. Thread sealant is better for high-pressure applications and can be used on a wider range of materials, while Teflon tape is easier to use and is less messy. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on the specific needs of the project.
