You don't need to use T tape. It's (OPSU) plastic. T tape usage is mainly to make sure it doesn't get stuck on metal to metal contact.

Get stuck?

Pipe tape is to fill in the tiny gaps from an imperfect fit to prevent a leak. Use some tape, its not expensive or difficult. Just be sure you wrap it opposite the direction you tighten the sender
