[AT] Hydraulic hoses

[John Widener]

Some hydraulic fittings are pipe thread and do need thread paste to seal 
them. Other fitting like J.I.C fittings and O-Ring fittings do not require 
thread paste.

Hydraulic hoses are supposed to be the type of threads that make a dry seal 
so no compound is necessary. The threads are shaped so high pressure fluid 
can't spiral along the helix and leak out.
