Hi Harry

Brass will not break lose like steel... ....

It's soft so to speak, and when you crank the ring nut down it will give just a bit and lock the brass in place unlike steel,ALum,etc.

Just like brass pipe plugs,or brass pipe fitting do...they seal without the need of anything else...
Brass will squeal or squeak when it's taped or threaded that's because the brass is trying to come back to the same size it was ...it's like threading a sponge.....
